What behavior are you expecting? SSH is like telnet - kinda, except the session is encrypted.
Q:
SSH Configuration fails
I have configured ssh on Enterprise linux AS release 4 update 4 and when trying to test the ssh configuration it is asking for password, after giving the password it logs into the server which is not desirable when configuring SSH
Kindly let me know where could i have gone wrong, i have done the SSH configuration after reading a lot of internet articles.

Note that simply having the keys for your user ID does NOT preclude password authentication; to do so, you will have to configure your ssh daemon to disallow password authentication (or allow keyed authentication only; I forget how OpenSSH does it, it's been so long since I've had to set it up from scratch).
On a related note, you will probably want to disallow root to log in via ssh; this is a configurable option in OpenSSH's config file. Also, you should disallow telnet and plain ftp connections, if you're looking to lock down your box.
