--- Comment #5 from Damien Miller <djm at mindrot.org>  2008-07-05 09:34:13 ---
a fix for this has been committed:

Both protocol 1 and 2 now check that failures < max_auth_tries before
running the auth method (allowing MaxAuthTries=0 to work). Failure is
now pre-incremented and the test is "<=", not "<".

Finally, protocol 2 allows an initial authentication attempt with the
"none" method without penalty if MaxAuthTries>0 because of its
slightly-special nature in the protocol.
