AIX

no error occured. But i checkd the loginfailed its ssh user...
a lot of it. What i want to know is, how did it happened. And do we have a command to issue for multiple max_user_connection.

invinzin21, you seem not to understand what HPAVC is trying to tell you: provide some info! To tell us "the account locks up" is fine, but how exactly is it locked up? Provide some output of "lsuser <ssh_user_account>", tell us what the "max_logins" line in /etc/security/login.defs is looking like (as i told you already), etc. Maybe its as simple as the ssh command giving the wrong password. AIX locks accounts if a maximum of failed login attempts is exeeded and they have to be unlocked by the administrator then - but that (as all the other things told to you) ARE JUST GUESSES and this is what we are left to as long as you do not show us some output of your actual system.

If you have a broken bycycle and want the mechanic to fix it you BRING IT THERE TO SHOW - you don't just call and tell the guy "yeah, well, it somehow doesn't go anymore or so".

HPAVC also asked about OS version and release level - still unanswered.

Sticking with the example above: if the poor guy on the phone is trying to find whats wrong with your bike and asks you which model it is: do you tell him "a yellow one" or do you think manufacturer, model number, year of purchase and similar information would be more useful to him?

sorry guys, u guess i already answered mty os version. aix 5.2 as what i stated above. anyway i figure it out.

# cat sshd_config |grep Max
MaxStartups 50

I increase it to 50 the default is 10. Thanks a lot guys..Sorry to bother..
For your clarification, maybe you have some idea too, o how to solve, well above is my solution. I edit the sshd_config

# lsuser sbi
sbi id=224 pgrp=smartbro groups=smartbro,staff home=/smartbro shell=/usr/bin/ksh gecos=smartbro account login=true su=true rlogin=true daemon=true admin=false sugroups=ALL admgroups= tpath=nosak ttys=ALL expires=0 auth1=SYSTEM auth2=NONE umask=22 registry=files SYSTEM=compat logintimes= loginretries=20 pwdwarntime=0 account_locked=false minage=2 maxage=13 minalpha=4 minother=0 mindiff=0 maxrepeats=8 minlen=8 histexpire=0 histsize=3 pwdchecks= dictionlist= fsize=-1 cpu=-1 data=-1 stack=-1 core=-1 rss=-1 nofiles=-1 fsize_hard=-1 core_hard=-1 time_last_login=1203000499 time_last_unsuccessful_login=1202972499 tty_last_login=ssh tty_last_unsuccessful_login=ssh host_last_login=10.170.1.243 host_last_unsuccessful_login=10.170.16.61 unsuccessful_login_count=0 roles=

This "MaxStartups 10" sshd locks you out? MaxStartups referrers to unauthenticated connections does it not?

Either way good deal that it is now fixed and you can reverse dssh

im nt verysure sir, if that maxstartsup locks me. But when i adjust it to 50 my backups was done completely and my was not lock anymore. I really dont what locks me out but for the important is i can backup everyday
