You will have to be more specific; this question is ambiguous and
confusing. First, you have not said what versions of SSH you are using,
and since the issues you're asking about are implementation-depending, we
can't answer your question.

It is not clear what you mean here; "user" is ambiguous. Do you mean when
a login attempt comes from a machine other than "your server?" Or that
the account to which a connection requests access via SSH-AUTH does not
exist on the server? And you're really asking two different questions
here anyway, since you also seem to want to restrict to using public-key
authentication, so it's not clear which restriction you want to enforce,
or both...

The phrase "not setup on my server" is vague; what do you mean,
precisely? In any case, if you try to log into a non-existent account,
you will of course fail... what are you asking?
