Hi Florian,

That's possible with a more extensive patch to introduce MAX_AUTH as a
command line option, currently it's only configurable at build time.

I can take a look at doing so, however I'd be concerned that if upstream
didn't take the patch it would be another LEDE patch to maintain.

Cheers,

Kevin
