      I'm finding this documentation a bit lacking:  https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/HOWTO_enable_SSH_access

      Under this in the web GUI:  system_advanced_admin.php

      …there aren't a ton of options either :P

      So, before I hose something up horribly...

      1 - Where is sshd getting it's direction from?
      2 - I want to modify the 15 attempt block default to 3 and can't find how the current config is doing this

      /etc/ssh <-- a bunch of config files I looked through
      /etc/sshd <-- a config file of sorts but it looks like the web GUI uses that...not sure.

      Any insight on this would be helpful.

      The /etc/ssh config files look all commented out.  Maybe I just uncomment them out like on other *nix systems and we're good eh?
