Clearing "AUTH_MAXTRIES" flag
Hey all! We have some new i2 blades, running 11.31, and have a user that's locked out because he typed the wrong password too many times. That's expected behavior and a good thing, but the problem is, now that we've identified the problem and reset his password, he still can't log in; just gets this:
"Access is denied by the AUTH_MAXTRIES attribute in security(4)."
If the system were trusted, I could probably use modprpw -k to unlock him, but I have no idea how to do it in HP's new security setup. Resetting the password does nothing.
I could probably remove the AUTH_MAXTRIES setting in /etc/default/passwd or some other security file, but I don't want to have to do that everytime somebody mistypes their password three times. How can I clear his account so he can log in? Thanks!

Re: Clearing "AUTH_MAXTRIES" flag
Nevermind, found my own answer! Need to do this:
userdbset -d -u username auth_failures
userdbset -d -u username auth_failures

Hi,
The command is right but I really think if you want to disable the AUTH_MAXTRIES attribute then you should use AUTH_MAXTIES as the argument for userdbset. And it's nice to know there are people making use of the SMSE database effectively . :)
