Failed PW retries

Greetings,

  When the ODBC driver gets back a failed login it seems to retry the
  same username/password 4 times, then tries with user 'admin', then
  tries again with the original username before prompting the user to
  enter a new password.

  Is there any way to change this behaviour?  Our PG system is set up to
  lock-out accounts after 3 failed login tries and so this is kind of a
  problem.

  We're using pam in pg_hba.conf and pam_radius_auth in the
  pam.d/postgres config, though I don't think those matter as we see
  multiple attempts in the Postgres log itself (and don't see these
  duplicated attempts when connecting with psql or similar).

  	Thanks,

		Stephen
