Does PAM only work via keyboard-interactive?

For 3.7x and 3.8x, yes. This will be changed [1] in the upcoming (soon!) 3.9x release. It's already in the snapshots [2], so please try it (and report any problems to openssh-unix-dev@mindrot.org).


Also, it appears that some vendors have backported those changes to their 3.8x packages.

usually comes from bad judgement.
