It does work with real password auth, but current OpenSSH
distros default to not allowing real password auth.  They use
keyboard-interactive instead, and it's set up to look to the
user just like password.  But it's totally antithetical to factotum.
I've thought about doing something to make factotum fake
it for the usual case of keyboard-interactive looking like
password, but it'll be later this summer before I could possible
even look at it.  Of course, anyone else who would like to
do it would gain undying gratitude. :)

As it stands at the moment, the two options are to change
the server config to allow real password instead of fake
password, or use the public key auth.
