kbd-int messages after 3 wrong passwords

[Pekka Savola]

Hello all,

Is it intentional that after three unsuccessful logins, the login prompt
changes as kbd-interactive mode is enabled and you receive non-default
message of failed authentication:

pekkas: /home/pekkas$ ssh localhost
pekkas at localhost's password:
Permission denied, please try again.
pekkas at localhost's password:
Permission denied, please try again.
pekkas at localhost's password:
Password:
Received disconnect from 127.0.0.1: 2: too many failed userauth_requests

This is in auth2-pam.c.
