How to setup a user lockout after 3 wrong passwd attempts.

[mark_5]

I would like to setup the ability to lockout users after 3 passwd attempts on a 11i non trusted system.

You can't do it on a non-trusted system. This function is only available on a trusted system.

You can either use SAM or the command line.

here is the command to do that.

/usr/lbin/modprpw -m umaxlntr=

Oops... I didn't notice that mark is looking for non-trusted system...

Patrick is right...

In a non-trusted environment the only way to do this is to create a custom login executable.

While a custom login binary would work, seems like a custom pam module might be easier. At the link below a free module that does just such a thing is available:
