Hi, I understand MaxAuthTries is a parameter used to restrict the maximum number of authentication attempts. But I notice a difference in behavior when run from different client versions. The MaxAuthTries at the server side is 6. The server side is running OpenSSH 6.6 version. When wrong password is given from an openssh client 6.1 version, it disconnects after 3 attempts. When wrong password is given from an openssh client 6.6 version, it disconnects after 5 attempts. What is the reason for this difference ? Shouldn't the behavior be the same, across both the clients, since MaxAuthTries is a server side parameter?
