How to lock user account on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.7 after certain no of unsuccessful attempts
1 Answer
Use the pam_tally module in your PAM authentication setup. Insert as desired into the relevant /etc/pam.d/*
configuration files.
Sample:
auth required pam_tally.so deny=10 unlock_time=60 per_user
10 failed logins generates a 1 minute lockout.
