pam_tally resetting

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

I'm trying to configure pam_tally on a RH 7.3 system.  In my /etc/pam.d/login 
file, I'm adding the module for both auth and account components.  I'm using 
deny=5 reset for the parameters.

The problem I seem to be  having is that the count is resetting back to 0 even 
without a successful login.  If I log in as root on console 2, and keep 
guessing wrong passwords on console 1, I can watch /var/log/messages display 
the "failed login for username..." message.  The count increases with each 
successive failed login, but if i wait for a short period of time, it's back 
to 0.

Any ideas?

thanks,

Kevin
