hi

how can i lockout access to a server via ssh after a pre-determined 
number (say, three) of unsuccessful login attempts?

i've had a look at /etc/ssh/sshd_config and have amended some parameters 
such as LoginGraceTime and so on but i cannot see specifically how do 
lock an account out after a number of bad login attempts.

cheers

bb
