Currently in OpenSSH this is not configurable at run time. You can
change it at compile time by editing auth.h and changing AUTH_FAIL_MAX
(which defaults to 6), but be aware that attempts at public-key
authentication count too, so if you change that to 1 then many clients
will not be able to authenticate at all.

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