            Bug ID: 2453
           Summary: Document authentication method "none" for
                    AuthenticationMethods
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 7.1p1
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
          Reporter: jjelen at redhat.com

To the set of related bugs (2398, 2397) for AuthenticationMethods
option, there is one documentation issue.

I know that there is "none" authentication method, specified by
RFC4252, but the usage in the above mentioned option can be misleading,
since the "none" value can be used in other options as a safe default.

>From my point of view, there should be short note about this value in
the documentation, for example like this:

> The special meaning has method "none", that will always fail, unless the client is to be granted access without any authentication
