  • How to reset the account after crossing MaxAuthTries

    Posted on

    Hi All,

    I have a test account through which i am not able to login to the server xxx from server yyy. Receiving the below error.

    [root@yyy ~]# ssh test@xxx
    Authorized users only. All activity may be monitored and reported.
    Received disconnect from xxx: 2: Too many authentication failures for test

    But I am successfully able to login to the server xxx from other servers and putty session directly.

    my MaxAuthTries is set to 4.

    Can someone help me to fix this issue.
