    Hello, everyone!
    I am preferably a linux guy but I've had extensive experience working
    with FreeBSD and the default set up with FreeBSD was that if you try to
    log in on the console several times sequentially and you fail it takes
    longer and longer until the next "type in password" prompt comes in. I
    really like this security feature to be available for ssh because if
    some script kiddie is trying to hack me the more they try to slower
    they will progress with their dictionary attack.
    Is there a way to do this with ssh? I looked through the docs and
    didn't find any option that would enable this.
    If any of you knows how to do this please share with us!
    Thank you!
    Roumen.
