This is not correct, the third pam_faillock line would never be called as the second line will always fail. So you can remove it. And just add account required pam_faillock.so line to the beginning of account section. Otherwise the fail count will never be reset on successful authentication.

My goal is: the local linux faillock table is used when a local user fails to authenticate, but local table is not used when a sssd-authenticated user fails to authenticate (I'm hoping to let AD handle that). > Bryan > > _______________________________________________ > Pam-list mailing list > Pam-list@xxxxxxxxxx > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/pam-list -- Tomas Mraz No matter how far down the wrong road you've gone, turn back.
