Hmm, I can't!  This is a FreeBSD server and it's rather locked down with 
respect to normal user access rights.

Cool!  I can't find this in my sshd_config file for some reason.  So, all I 
need to ask them to do is uncomment #Match User and add my user name and 
options?  Like so:
=================================
Match User mick
	PubkeyAuthentication yes
	AuthorizedKeysFile     ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
	PasswordAuthentication no
=================================

Is that correct?
