Nope. Basically:
* Each failed attempt doubles the penalty for next login attempt from
that specific IP
* Penalty is maxed out at 30 seconds
* Each successful login (after waiting for penalty) will clear the
penalty for that IP
* You can disable the penalty entirely with: service anvil
{ unix_listener anvil-auth-penalty { mode = 0 } }
I don't really like this penalty stuff. Maybe it's better than nothing,
maybe not. Maybe there's a better way to do it. Not very useful for
IPv6.
