[PLUG] SSH question


I have what I hope is a quick SSH question, and I can't seem to decipher the
man pages properly. :-)

I want my SSH daemon to ask me for a passphrase when I connect. If I give it
the correct passphrase, I want it to then ask me for the ID and password to
use on the remote system.

Now, I did generate a keypair (using ssh-keygen), and I did use the "-P
passphrase" option. However, when I connect to that host using my SSH
client, it never asks me for the passphrase - only the remote ID and
password.

What am I doing wrong? I looked thru the sshd_config, and do have

HostbasedAuthentication no
RSAAuthentication yes
PasswordAuthentication yes
