Did anyone see my query? Anyone have some input?

  I recently upgraded to openssh-server-3.1p1-8. Since then I have noticed these messages in my messages file:

Aug 7 14:18:40 localhost sshd(pam_unix)[32617]: authentication failure; logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=NODEVssh ruser= rhost=web-gate-0.ink.org user=ausername

Logins are successful, however.

Has anyone else seen these? What is the cause and is it something to be concerned about?

To me authentication errors are serious problems.
