[TriLUG] Annoying daemon.log entries with ssh

[Scott Lambdin]

I saw this out there in the ether.  Have your syslogging turned way up?

The first[1] step in the SSHv2 authentication is to request an
authentication with a method of "none". If the server requires no further
authentication then it must allow the "none" authentication to succeed,
otherwise it must reply with a list of authentications that the server
allows.

It's normal, but it's usually only logged at LogLevel VERBOSE so it doesn't
normally make it to the log files.
