Except for the onerr=fail, and "per_user", mine is the same as what you give, and I still have this error. I have onerr=succeed because the screen saver cannot write to the faillog, so users cannot unlock their screen savers. Don't know what "per_user" does. There doesn't seem to be a pam_tally man page to read. > -----Original Message----- > From: pam-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:pam-list- > bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Tomas Mraz > Sent: Monday, July 21, 2008 8:33 AM > To: Pluggable Authentication Modules > Subject: RE: Bug in pam_tally on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server > release5.1(Tikanga). > > On Mon, 2008-07-21 at 12:27 +0000, Tangren, Bill wrote: > > Will this work for RHEL ES 4.5 as well, or are there > modifications > > needed? > > > No, you have to use something similar to: > > > > > 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/$ISA/pam_tally.so > onerr=fail > > no_magic_root > > account required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_tally.so > per_user > > deny=3 no_magic_root reset > > > > -- > Tomas Mraz > No matter how far down the wrong road you've gone, turn back. > Turkish proverb > > _______________________________________________ > Pam-list mailing list > Pam-list@xxxxxxxxxx > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/pam-list _______________________________________________ Pam-list mailing list Pam-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/pam-list
