Description

Hello,
I'm writing an SSH Server which works similar to OpenSSH Server. I wanted to send disconnect event to client when it writes wrong password too many times. I find out that I can send custom disconnect event with client._sshstream.disconnect(<reason>), but I've not found any built in function that I can send disconnect message with it. Is that feature missing or I've just not found it?

Research direction

Start by tracing the client._sshstream.disconnect() entry point mentioned in the issue and inspect the SSH server-side disconnect handling. Determine whether a built-in function is intended for this use or whether a new API is needed. Done means the supported behavior for sending a disconnect message is defined and verified for repeated wrong-password attempts.
