Casual Question regarding ssh

I have openssh installed on the Unix machines.

I have also set the syslog level to auth.debug so that the all the ssh entries are logged.

I have this vague message which in no way affects my ssh session but still i am curious
Whenever i log in it gives this error

pam_secretd: error Authentication failed ... auth.debug

Wonder wat this error means.
At first i thgt it was because i turned off the PAM keyboard interactive to no .. because of the possible exploit given on the openssh.org site.

But enabling it dosent help either.

I wonder wat that is ? anyone .... Smilie
