Hi!

I implemented a ssh conection from the outside to my intranet. This ssh requires a \
username and a password.

In terms of security what is more secure: require authentication (username and \
password) or having the public key of each user that connects to our intranet in the  \
authorized public key lists (in this case there is no need for username and \
password)?  In the second case there is no need of authentication and only the users \
wich have the public keys in the list are allowed to enter in my intranet.

This second solution is a good solution or that brings other security problems ?

Thanks.
