Ssh lockout please help!!!!

Due to missing users i got a ssh-lockout. Looking around I found in config.xml this: usr/bin/nice -n20 /usr/local/sbin/expiretable -v -t 3600 sshlockout
executing via the webif the command with -t 0 had no effect.
Restarting ssh without any effect. How can I reset the anti-lockout manually????

I also found the ssh lockout to be incredibly frustrating. I would vote to have more sane limits for the ssh lockout rules. Maybe something like 5 failed logins in one hour gets you locked out, not one failed login.

Sorry, I was going off of an old experience I had. I thought it was one.

you can unlock the ssh lockout by typing
#pfctl -t sshlockout -T flush
from the webgui command page
