SSH login incorrect delay

Charlie Ruedi_1 — Mon, 03 Oct 2005 14:21:53 GMT

Hello,

Does anyone know if HP's OpenSSH 3.91 has a delay between incorrect login attempts, similar to setting the terminal security policies for telnet etc? I know that commercial versions of SSH support this, but I can't find anything about OpenSSH.

Thanks,
Charlie

Hi ,

Please see the sshd config file .

/opt/ssh/etc/sshd_config and see the below parameter .

LoginGraceTime 120
(Gives the grace time for clients to authenticate themselves
(default 120 seconds). If the client fails to authenticate the
user within this many seconds, the server disconnects and exits.
A value of zero indicates no limit.)

Is this you looking for ?

thx,
bl.

Thanks Tl,

What I'm looking for is if a person types and incorrect password, I want a 3 second delay before allowing them to try again.

Thanks,
charlie

I don't think there is an option for this in the sshd_config file.

See this page for reference:
