ssh log file messages

I'm sure someone has thought about this...
Using either hobbit or BBGen, I get lots of messages in the log file
from the sshd daemon complaining about bbuser trying to log in:

Mar 10 11:51:47 ns1 sshd[30081]: Bad protocol version identification
'quit' from ::ffff:198.214.232.10
Mar 10 11:51:47 ns1 sshd(pam_unix)[30082]: authentication failure;
logname= uid=0 euid=0 tty=NODEVssh ruser= rhost=bolt.austinenergy.com
user=bbuser

I know that I can twiddle bb-services to fix this, but not certain what
I should send...  Anyone with an example that connects quietly?
