I don't know if that what I found is real bug, but I think that it's 
important.

When you give a valid user at login, openssh waits something about 3 
seconds after giving password (I'am not sure if its depends on system 
configuration). But when you give user which does not exist, openssh 
does not wait the same time. This allows to detect valid user on a 
target system.
