Re: how to configure account lockout duration?

Sorry, I did some googling and found pam_time not pam_timeout.  Here is 
the link, from what I can make of it by looking at the source it seems 
to read a configuration file, reads in the variables, checks the time 
var vs. the current time and logs the person out.  I think its what you 
are looking for.

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/pam/Linux-PAM/modules/pam_time/

I searched pam_timeout in the archive for pam-list and yielded no
results...do you have a URL?

I have never used this module but the pam_timeout is what alot of people 
are using.  There are about 4 or 5 threads just before yours detailing 
some useages and problems others have encountered.
