Hi there, thanks again for taking the time to help me...
What I need to do is have pam (or something else) lock out a user account
after a number of specified failed login attempts.
I have looked at the utility faillog, This allows me to supposedly set the
number of tries,and somehow I came to the conclusion
that pam_tally would use this utility to lock the account. I may be way off
base here. Wouldnt be the first time yeiks..
Thanks
Gene Reynolds

Please respond to
pam-list
Well, yes and no. pam_tally is a PAM module that you need to add to a
file in /etc/pam.d for the particular service or services you want to
"tally." It does not get its own file.
Maybe a little summary of what you're trying to achieve would help me
explain things better. Sorry if this isn't what you wanted to know.
