openssh bugs - Oct 2003 - [Bug 729] Feature request + patch: DenyLockedAccounts option in sshd_config

http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=729

           Summary: Feature request + patch: DenyLockedAccounts option in
                    sshd_config
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: -current
          Platform: All
               URL: http://www.unixwiz.net/blog/archives/001125.html
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P3
         Component: sshd
        AssignedTo: openssh-bugs at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: steve at unixwiz.net


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.
