I'm just guessing, but are you trying to tell me that "login-retries" in login.conf is useful? I have tried that by setting it to 2, but it seems to have no effect on the sshd login behaviour. I always can try the password 6 times: $ ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] Password: Password: Password: [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password: Permission denied, please try again. [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password: Permission denied, please try again. [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s password: Permission denied (publickey,password,keyboard-interactive). $ So could you be a little more specific as to where login.conf is of help here?
