I thought that was default?!? From login-manpage:

"After three unsuccessful login attempts, a HANGUP signal is issued."

Else check the

/etc/default/security

...where you can set these things. Check

man 4 security

for details.

...this should also works for newer versions og HP-UX

if you DONT want to use trusted mode (not as easy):
