Actually, that error means exactially what it says, you have run out of
authentication methods. The sshd server has looked at the methods your
have setup in your sshd(2)_config file and has not been able to ok all
of the ones you have picked.

if your "RequiredAuthentications" is set to publickey and you don't have
your public key on the system you will get this error.  

if your "RequiredAuthentications" is set to publickey,password and you don't
have your public key on the system, but you do give it your correct
password you will still get the error because it was not able to authenticate
_all_ of the _required_ methods. Same goes if you have hostbased set but
arn't coming from a host you have setup as authorized.
