sshd_config MaxAuthTries

This might seem like an awfully simple question, but I just can't seem to find any info on it.

All I'd like to know is what would happen if someone exceeded the MaxAuthTries value in sshd_config?

Do they simply lose the connection to the ssh server and have the option of immediately reconnecting? Or does something different happen?

This is on CentOS 4.2, not that I imagine it makes any difference.
