Disallowing password authentication on socket



Thanks to a new enough ssh on socket, it was possible to disable
password authentication for all users except sysadmins for the socket
machine.

For reference this is done using (/etc/ssh/sshd_config):
  PasswordAuthentication no
  Match Group admin
          PasswordAuthentication yes

Note: the admin group is defined using /etc/group, not LDAP. So
sysadmins can still login even if LDAP is down.
