[juneau-lug] Login Prompt Delay On Bad Password

I'm seeing beaucoup bad SSH login attempts, it's been
happening forever...as will be the case when one is
allowing SSH in.

I remember seeing something about making the
SSH daemon wait 2 seconds...then 4 seconds...then 8 seconds
...then 16 seconds..  on bad password attempts.

Anyone know how that's done?
A change in the ssh config?
Or a login script change or sumfin' ?
Perhaps I'm misunderstanding  who is responsible
for generating the bad password login delay ?

Any pointers much appreciated.
