That depends on which box you got it out of. If you compile the
source yourself, its default settings are 'trust', not 'md5'.
If you get it from a repository, it is up to the repository's policies
and/or the packager's tastes to decide what defaults to use.
In my hands, md5 blocks access exactly when it should, when the user
fails to provide the valid password.
If you want things to be improved, you will have to be more specific
about what problem you are having, and what package you are using.
