There are two variable in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file:
# Maximum number of retries for authentication
MaxAuthTries 6
MaxAuthTriesLog 3

Doesn't work for me in 3.5.
What OpenSSH version did these directives appear in?

Ok, I'm sorry for this...I found it in the Solars SSH-Config file and thought it would be the same as in OpenSSH.
