Patch to add DenyLockedAccounts option to sshd_config none

Description Stephen J. Friedl 2003-10-06 04:40:08 AEST 
The new behavior of denying locked users has caught many of us by surprise, so
I've made a patch to 3.7.1p2 that adds a "DenyLockedAccounts" keyword in the
sshd_config file. The default behavior is "yes" (the current behavior), and the
patch also updates the sshd_config man page and the template config file.

I'd rather see OpenSSH with *LESS* knobs and buttons to push for configuration 
then more.  And this is really not a useful one in the long run.

It should not have been a surprise as it was listed in the release notes.  It's
also in ChangeLog and the man page.

As Ben says, the patch serves no long-term purpose.
