I am running Redhat 9.0 on am amd x86.  Its a pretty basic system
As the main login shell I run sshd, with ftp and telnet disabled.

I know this is basic, but I looked for an hour on this and could not find it
How do I change the number of login tries from 3 before a time out to 1.

It would also be nice to change the time between tries to so.

Thanks

Chip
