However this doesn't eliminate potential DoS attacks you may

Could you please expand on that. I've got one server where
PasswordService dies every couple of months. And my key-based
SSH login doesn't work.
How can I setup SSH so that key-based connections will still
work if PasswordService has died? And no, I don't have better
definition of 'PasswordService has died' since the only way I
have found to recover is power cycle the machine. And the log
files have not shed any light on the issue.
The only reason I know it's PasswordService is that I happened
to have a shell open one time and was able to do some
investigation. But I had to quickly power cycle (sudo wasn't
working obviously) since customer was screaming for machine to
come back.
