Greetings,

When PasswordAuthentication no + PermitEmptyPasswords yes
SSH2 allows access to a passwordless account without a valid key.

This is my patch:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The authentication method "none" (which allows the user to log 
into an account with an empty password) returns 1 only if 
PasswordAuthentication is set to "yes".
