Thank you for the response Peter but faillog is for the pam_tally module and not pam_tally2. - Kaydo -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Peter Shulkin Sent: Wednesday, June 16, 2010 12:19 PM To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: Pam_Tally2 User Lockouts.

Is there a command that I can run that will tell me whether a >user's account is locked out from this module or not? If I run passwd -S ><user> it doesn't say that the account is locked, I'm thinking this only >works if the account was locked using usermod -L. I know I can use >pam_tally2 command to see the failed login counts, but it would be great if >there were a command that would directly tell me if a user was locked out >due to this module. Anybody know of such a command? >Thanks guys, Of course, you know about the faillog program. Faillog -u userid tells you if that userid is locked out, and faillog -u userid -r resets the account. Check the man pages for more info.
