'General' is fine if it concern the base system's sshd.

By default sshd allows 4 retries on fail login attempts. I want to break this loop to less than or greater than 4 based on error code like PAM_MAXTRIES or some other that I return from PAM module. Is that possible? How?

I think you need to explain yourself better - I'm not fully understanding your question.
