Solaris 9, ssh and openssh
I set the RETRIES and DISABLETIME in /etc/default/login on 2 systems:

- 1 Solaris 9 system running Sun SSH
- 1 Solaris 9 system running Openssh 5.2 P1

I expected that after n failed logins, the login process will hang for n seconds.
It does when the attempted login is done at the console but when logging in via ssh or openssh, the /etc/default/login does not even get read.
I have the output from truss in both cases to prove that.

What I tried, based on suggestion from different forums, was:
- set UsePAM yes and ChallengeResponseAuthentication=no same result
- set UseLogin yes same result.

How can I get ssh or openssh to read values in /etc/defalt/login?

Thanks you!

You can't. You need to configure sshd_config. Also, ssh doesn't make the connection "hang", it just terminates the connection once you reach the max number of tries.

Which parameter in sshd_config can I change to get it to read /etc/default/login?

The contents of sshd_config (and abilities of the sshd daemon) change by release and vendor so you should consult the man page for sshd_config to find the value(s) that you need.

No, is not. You configure ssh through sshd_config.

Is it possible to get either Sun SSH or openssh to allow x retries and suspend login for n seconds?
