Yes, I can. It can be found in man pages. I do it pretty often.

No. This is not right. ssh will anyway ask for the password, take it and
then say that its a wrong password.

Anyway it seems to work as expected now:

adi <at> ubuntu-family:~$ ssh student@...
The authenticity of host 'unixpod.com (12.205.155.236)' can't be
established.
RSA key fingerprint is de:a6:3d:d8:09:26:ce:63:67:e6:ec:c8:81:38:a2:0d.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
Warning: Permanently added 'unixpod.com,12.205.155.236' (RSA) to the list of
known hosts.
student@...'s password:
Permission denied, please try again.
student@...'s password:

So I guess everything is fine now?
