    I have CentOS 5 and this option in cpanel is currently disabled (Password Authentication is currently disabled.) Yet i can still connect to SSH with password.

    Hi,

    Will you please tell me which C-Panel/WHM version are you currently using?

    By the way you can still lock down SSH pretty well as making the following changes simply:

    vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config

    PermitRootLogin no #disable root user login
    Port 221 #ssh port other than the default which is 22
    AllowUsers bob #only allow limited user/s

    and then finally restarting the SSH daemon:

    service sshd restart
