+ * There are some situations where sshd determines a user can't log in.
+ * Typical samples of that are DenyUsers or PermitRootLogin.
+ * In those cases sshd *still* calls PAM, so that delays set by it are
+ * still performed to the user (without leaking info about accounts

+ * replaces the password with that impossible one.
