User account locking after n number of failed logins
Dear All,
I was intimated to make changes in redhat linux (rhel 5) in such a way that the user has to be locked for a particular period of time after a particular number of failed login attempts.
But some users should be made exceptional.
Would somebody help me to configure this?
Waiting for reply.
Regards,
C.Sacthivel.

Re: User account locking after n number of failed logins
Hai,
I already googled and find this page. But exactly I don't know how to make authentications available for particular users.
For example I want to lock accouts for all users after 3 invalid attempts for 30 minutes except oracle user.
For achieving this what are all the files I have to edit and what are all the entries I have to add?
Please help me.
regards,
C.Sacthivel

Re: User account locking after n number of failed logins
The retry attempts setting exists (or id defaulted) in /etc/pam.d/system-auth, it is global.
I do not think you can set per user.
