Change number of failed login attempts

[Dirk Moolman]

On hp-ux 10.20, which command can I use to change the number of login attempts for a user (in this case root) ?

I found references to prpwd, and u_maxtries, but do not know how to change this.

Dirk,
Go to sam -> Audit & Security ->System security Policy -->General user account policy -->Unsuccessful Login Tries Allowed:_5_

[Dirk Moolman]

Will this change the login attempts for all users on the system ?

Dirk,
yes.
If you just want root to change modify the root user policy by selecting root in SAM -> Users.

Great, thank you very much
