Ubuntu Server 13.4

Code:
$ telnet localhost auth
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.

22,3216:ERROR:NO-USER
Connection closed by foreign host.
I'm not seeing any errors in /var/log/syslog. I have the default configuration file it installed with.
I've searched out howtos but haven't been able to figure it out.
