Hi I m trying to set password policies on my Redhat EL 3,4,5 boxes. I use the http://brandonhutchinson.com/wiki/Linux_Password_Policy link and also found your http://sial.org/howto/linux/pam_tally/ . For the /var/log/faillog part Ive found that there is a already file at a Redhat 5 (with a size), but doesnt exits on a 4 box. So i created it on Redhat 4 as given, but the log file size is 0. Also when i try to cat or more the faillog file on 5 box which has a size, brings nothing. So how can i make the system log the failed attemps?
