SSH setting a timeout for the 'password' prompt?

For linux you maybe have the option to workaround with the timeout command, provided with "coreutils" from any regular RPMs .

If it's timeout then return code 124

cinacio@jdivm04:~> time timeout 10s ssh cinacio@vulca_5 ; echo $?
cinacio@vulca_5's password:

real    0m10.002s
user    0m0.006s
sys     0m0.002s

124
