Turns out /etc/ssh/sshd_config has the following line:

But "man 5 sshd_config" says:
PasswordAuthentication Specifies whether password authentication is allowed. The default is ``yes''.
Hmm, why is SuSE 9.0's default "no" ? I changed this to yes and BANG it works.
It defaults to 'no' because it has UsePAM set to 'yes'. This overrides PasswordAuthentication in most cases. Maybe your /etc/pam.d/sshd is screwed?
