sshd in OpenSSH 3.5p1, when PermitRootLogin is disabled,
immediately closes the TCP connection after a root login attempt with the correct password, but
leaves the connection open after an attempt with an incorrect password, which makes it easier for
remote attackers to guess the password by observing the connection state.
