Use pam_tally module, for example: /etc/pam.d/login auth required /lib/security/pam_tally.so onerr=fail no_magic_root account required /lib/security/pam_tally.so deny=5 no_magic_root reset After 5 bad login, account will be locked. You need to create /var/log/faillog file, that provide info about bad login for pam_tally module. -- Piotr "Charvel" Majka | PGP & GPG Public Key: finger charvel@link.pl | Uin: 20873695 GCM d- s-:- a- C++ UL++++ P+ L+++ E--- W+ N+++ !o !K w--- !O M V- PS+ PE !Y PGP+ t--- !5 X R tv- b !DI D+ G++ e h r y++**
