In case it was not already been suggested install and configure
libpam-ssh. I ended up setting the password for my personal account to
! in /etc/shadow and just authenticate against the passphrase of my
private key (while root continues to use std unix auth).
/etc/pam.d/common-auth:
auth sufficient pam_unix.so nullok_secure
auth sufficient pam_ssh.so try_first_pass keyfiles=id_dsa
/etc/pam.d/common-session:
session optional pam_ssh.so
session required pam_unix.so

You may want to ensure you have an interactive session (i.e. PS1 set),
and check SHLVL so you do this less.
