Not too sure about openssh but I bet they work the same. with ssh
it tries an empty password first before trying the key. what may
be happening is that even though you said no passwd auth, it took
it to mean no password prompting (and therefore no auth). as such
it does it's default first run with an empty password/empty key
pharse and if it succeeds all is well. if not it would normally
do a prompt for password/key phrase but you turned that off.
