Account lockout failure count

The account lockout feature has one attribute called: Failures Before Lockout. According to the sun doc, it is said that it is 'how many consecutive failures are allowed before Directory Server locks the account'. My question is: if the user ssh into the LDAP client and type a wrong password, do sshd and pam service all log one record for the failed attempt? In another words, does pam count one failure and the sshd count one failure (totally 2 times) or just either pam or sshd count one time failure (totally only 1 time)?

Thanks,

These are more questions of implementation of the pam module.

But, Directory Server uses only LDAP Bind failed authentication to increase the counters. So, I would say that an ssh user typing a wrong pasword should only translate into a single failed Bind request and thus 1 failure.
