Hi Justin, There is nothing to worry about here. This failure is just the secure shell asking if the user is allowed to log in without a password. It's a bit unfortunate that this logging happens. >From looking at the internals it could almost be called a bug. Syslogd is also in _serious_ need of a modern replacement. Personally I disable these warnings although this means the log entries for successful login/logout are also suppressed.
