First, the instructions you point at are not maintained or supported by
this list.  Folks using them should direct problems, questions, and comments
about these instructions to kscully at ist dot uwaterloo dot ca.

Second, the OP specifically called out that he's talking about *password
authentication*, not _public_key_authentication_.  This issue you mention
is only one for _public_key_authentication_.
