Description

Due to authentication failures. These are logged on warn. Can happen on both inbound and outbound connections, but shouldn't cause log spam any more, since we fixed outbound connection backoff for auth failures. But out-of-date or misbehaving nodes can still cause this behavior, so it should still be fixed.

The issue names no files or tests. Start by locating the network authentication warning for inbound and outbound connections, then trace how repeated authentication failures are logged. Done means misconfigured or out-of-date peers no longer cause log spam while authentication failures remain visible.
