  I wonder why OpenSSH still doesn't support simple and nice feature of 
SSH.COM's sshd2_config:

         LoginGraceTime                  60
         AuthInteractiveFailureTimeout   10

These settings effectively cause robots to stop the scan for me. Every
scan attempt gives only 1..N failed attempts (where N=number of 
externally-reachable and SSH-served IPs on machine if robot is capable of 
simultaneous scan of several IPs), so I can just ignore them.

Sincerely, Dmitry
