What would you consider as a fair maxretry for ssh? At work I
have found some servers running

maxretry = 3

which means if you have, say, having issues with ldap you will be
banned (as ssh will let you try 3 times before closing connection). I
think I would be happier with a larger maxretry.

If you also have ldap in your local.conf, wouldn't that mean depending
on, say, its maxretry size it will cause someone who is trying to ssh
to be double banned?
