As far as I know the only way is to either downgrade the sshd rpm from the latest released by redhat or install the one from openssh.org. There are a couple of bugs at bugzilla.redhat.com regarding this but the guy responsible does not seem to care about false failure messages. I found that unacceptable and installed the openssh rpms on some of my machines and left the old rom in place on others. I forget the RH versions that made it hard to do the openssh stuff. Since I only pay for one copy of rh each release and then run it (significantly customized) on about 45 machines I did not feel like I had the right to try and escalate the issue past the guy that maintains the rpm. Sort of pissed a few folks off though. I think it is a function of how many people actually look at the logs and complain, not many I guess. If there is a fix as well as stopping the login delay on a successful logins (where is the information leakage there?) I would like to know about it since I really like to keep the installation on my 4 servers as stock as possible.
