HostbasedAuthentication problem

[Dost, Alexander]

I'm trying to use HostbasedAuthentication. Running ssh -v -v -v user at host
the following error occurs:

debug3: authmethod_is_enabled hostbased
debug1: next auth method to try is hostbased
debug2: userauth_hostbased: chost <host>
debug2: we did not send a packet, disable method

What does this mean ? I enabled HostbasedAuthentication in
/etc/ssh/ssh_config and as it looks, this setting is used correctly. So
what's wrong ?
