It's a problem with the ntsec specific test in OpenSSH itself. The test requires ntsec to be turned on for switching user context w/o password. This isn't required anymore for a while but the test in OpenSSH still insists on ntsec for pubkey auth. I've send a patch to the portable OpenSSH developers list which hopefully makes it into 3.8.1p1, which is due RSN.
