PAM version is: pam-0.99.6.2-3.26.el5
case 1:
following lines works for RHEL-3 & RHEL-4 version with pam-0.77-66.23 version without any problems but not working for RHEL-5
auth required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_tally.so no_magic_root
account required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_tally.so per_user deny=3 no_magic_root reset
- faillog counter just updates number of failed password attempts
- never locks the user account,
- never clears the faillog counter after successful login attempt
