>Description:
I edited the /etc/login.access file to enhance security by inserting this line: -:ALL:ALL EXCEPT LOCAL wheel. Then when I try to log in via SSH, it asks me for my password 4 times. It fails the first 3 times, but finally accepts the password on the 4th try.
Also, same behavior on 5.2.1-RELEASE #0 on i38g platform.
>How-To-Repeat:
Simply edit the /etc/login.access file with this line: -:ALL:ALL EXCEPT LOCAL wheel and it repeats. I tried on 3 different machines (different generic 'white' box pc's) and same behavior.
THANKS ALL! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK! YOU GUYS ARE THE TRUE GENIUSES IN OPEN SOURCE!!!! I LOVE FREEBSD!!!! I'M CURRENTLY SWITCHING AS MANY LINUX BOXES AS POSSIBLE OVER TO FREEBSD!
