    If you're using PAM, then then sshd doesn't check itself, it leaves it to
    PAM. On Solaris, PAM only started checking for locked accounts in recent
    patches [0].

    Also, 3.7p1 and 3.7.1p1 had a bug that would cause the checks to not
    happen if PAM wasn't compiled in.

    Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
