SSH2 supports the 'PasswordGuesses' option to the sshd_config file, but OpenSSH relies on your authorization mechanism to take care of this type of thing, IIRC.
'FAIL_DELAY' and 'LOGIN_RETRIES' paramaters in your /etc/login.defs are probably what you are after if you have them in use. 'man 5 login.defs' should give you what you need. --James On Friday 08 April 2005 17:29, A.
