Hi All, How does pam_tally keep the its database (user invalid attempts count, timeout,..)in a consistent way from several processes(telnet, ssh,..) attempting to update it. It doesnt seem to be using flock before updating. Please let me know if i have missed something Regards, Pavan. _______________________________________________ Pam-list mailing list Pam-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/pam-list
