makes sense. I can see that DEFAULT_AUTH_FAIL_MAX is 6. None, 2
hostbased and 2 pubkey auth tries makes 5 of them. While this won't
break many automated systems (I don't think that many configurations
have more than 2 public keys, for example) it would leave just one try
for password/kbd-interactive auth.

to increase DEFAULT_AUTH_FAIL_MAX to 8 sounds very logical.
