I would prefer it if a user were prompted for his or her password up to 3 times before the SSH connection terminates.
I don't completely understand the nuances of PAM, so I'm not sure if this feature--asking for the password multiple times if incorrect--is something that PAM handles or if it's something that OpenSSH handles itself. Nevertheless, I've seen it done on other UNIX/Linux machines, so I know it can be done.
Here's my libpam0g and openssh version information:
Package: libpam0g Version: 0.76-22
Package: ssh Version: 1:3.8.1p1-8.sarge.2
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
