Title:
  LDM should display a message when the user makes an error in his
  password instead of restarting

Status in Linux Terminal Server Project:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ldm

  Currently, when using ssh to connect, LDM is designed to restart when
  any kind of error happens, might it be that the server is not
  responding or that a user misses her password.

  LDM behavior is universal in these situation : it displays "no
  response from server, restarting" and restarts, leaving the impression
  to the user that something is wrong with the system when she has just
  made an error in her password.

  Should not LDM be made to differentiate both cases (wrong password VS
  system failure), and simply display an error message to the user when
  the password is invalid, without restarting itself completely?
