\C{errors} Common error messages
See \k{config-ssh-encryption} for more information on this message.
+\H{errors-toomanyauth} \q{Server sent disconnect message type 2
+(SSH_DISCONNECT_PROTOCOL_ERROR): "Too many authentication failures for root"}
+
+This message is produced by an OpenSSH (or Sun SSH) server if it
+receives more failed authentication attempts than it is willing to
+tolerate. This can easily happen if you are using Pageant and have a
+large number of keys loaded into it. This can be worked around on the
+server by disabling public-key authentication or (for Sun SSH only) by
+increasing \c{MaxAuthTries} in \c{sshd_config}. Neither of these is a
+really satisfactory solution, and we hope to provide a better one in a
+future version of PuTTY.
+
\H{errors-memory} \q{Out of memory}
This occurs when PuTTY tries to allocate more memory than the system
to tell from this error message whether the problem is in the client
or in the server.
-A known server problem which can cause this error is described in
-\k{faq-openssh-bad-openssl} in the FAQ.
+If you get this error, one thing you could try would be to fiddle
+with the setting of \q{Miscomputes SSH2 encryption keys} on the Bugs
+panel (see \k{config-ssh-bug-derivekey2}).
+
+Another known server problem which can cause this error is described
+in \k{faq-openssh-bad-openssl} in the FAQ.
