I get an error when I run OpenSSH 3 under OpenBSD3 that I dont understand:

I have my sshd_config setup as follows:
---------------------------------------
#Authentication
UseLogin no
LoginGraceTime 60
PermitRootLogin no
StrictModes yes
RSAAuthentication no
PubkeyAuthentication yes
RhostsAuthentication no
IgnoreRhosts yes
RhostsRSAAuthentication no
HostbasedAuthentication no
IgnoreUserKnownHosts yes
PasswordAuthentication no
PermitEmptyPasswords no
ChallengeResponseAuthentication no
KerberosAuthentication no
AllowTcpForwarding yes
X11Forwarding no
---------------------------------

..I only want to allow publickey...no passwords and nothing with rhosts (or
anything similar). No password fallback.

I use SecureCRT for windows and it is setup the same...publickey only.
While I can get in just fine, the ssh log file shows someting I dont
understand:

debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS received
debug1: KEX done
debug1: userauth-request for user john service ssh-connection method none
debug1: attempt 0 failures 0
Failed none for john from 192.168.100.6 port 4480 ssh2
debug1: userauth-request for user john service ssh-connection method
publickey
debug1: attempt 1 failures 1
debug1: test whether pkalg/pkblob are acceptable
debug1: temporarily_use_uid: 1001/10 (e=0)
debug1: trying public key file /home/john/.ssh/authorized_keys
debug1: matching key found: file /home/john/.ssh/authorized_keys, line 3

..then I get in.

What is it trying to do 'service ssh-connection method none' and how can I
stop this error?
(failures)

THANX in advance for anyones tips or comments :)
