Can host based authentication (using ~/.ssh/authorized_keys, etc) do
that?
e.g.
# ssh john@server
prompt for password
# ssh powah@server
no prompt for password
Tat sure is secure!

For the known client C to ssh to server, no prompt for password for
the user powah, else still prompt for password for all unknown
clients. This is host based authentication.

Sorry, I did not read the line about host-based authentication - I incorrectly assumed you wanted it to be based on just the username (as the subject might imply).

Sorry.
