[Arun Jain]

Hi,

I want to know that which service has to be start and which file has to be create which enable that if we have try three unsuccessful
attempt at login the account has been disabled in HP-UX.

Regards,

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.

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