on fbsd7 getting in with rsa is easy:
RSAAuthentication yes
PubkeyAuthentication yes
AuthorizedKeysFile     .ssh/authorized_keys

but on fbsd4.4
PubkeyAuthentication and AuthorizedKeysFile don't exist and you get a 
bad configuration option error.

but if you don't have those there, you get the password prompt because
of 
PasswordAuthentication yes
(and if you say no here you don't get in at all)

so how did they do it back then?
how did they get in using .ssh/authorized_keys??
