Reduce SSH hammering protection

Reported by: steven@… Owned by:
Priority: low Milestone:
Component: fon-network Version: 2.3.6.0 (Gari)
Severity:
Cc: Hardware: both

Description

When entering "exit" in the first ssh session and then launching another putty session we get a network error : connection timed out... we have to wait for 5 minutes to connect again to the WAN of the fonera 2.0g 2.3.5.0rc1 Could the ssh hammering sensitivity be a little too high?

I've experienced similar issues, IIRC there are three connections allowed before there is a lockout. Not as bad as you suggest, but can still be annoying (especially when also using scp to copy some files). Perhaps increasing this value to 5 or so is a good idea.
