- I has been several months since the sysadmin and I did it, but I remember
- that it was done as a separate step after the OS was completely installed.
- Just follow the instructions in the chapter in Network Admin guide. Some
- people have pointed out that the C2 is not a certified implementation. I am
- not sure.
-
- I asked the question about login myself and someone told me it already does
- close the connection after a number of failed attempts. It just doesn't
- seem to be tunable. I had never screwed up enough times to see it. I
- believe it is set at about 5 failed attempts. Determine it empirically. I
- would be happier if it were 3 or tunable.
