I am attempting to lock user accounts after 5 failed login attempts. I have been successful in doing that using PAM. The documented method for unlocking the user accounts is by using faillog (or pam_tally command). This works, too. Now, the next question, is there a methodology of unlocking the user account(s) using some sort of timer? I would prefer not to use cron. BTW, there appears to be an option on faillog, -l locksecs, that displays on the command usage display, but I am not finding documentation on that option. Is this the answer to my question?
