Hi, I was able to configure pam_tally on RHEL 5.5/6 and verify that account gets locked after 'n' unsuccessful attempts through different auth mechanisms like su, sshd, login etc. I can also see the output of pam_tally or faillog that reflects the number of failed login attempts. But when I try passwd -S <user name> after an account is locked through use of pam_tally, it does not relect account locked status. see below for example output of faillog as well passwd -S after an account is locked using pam_tally # faillog -u testuser1 Login Failures Maximum testuser1 4 0 # passwd -S testuser1 testuser1 PS 10/17/2011 0 99999 7 -1 if I explicity lock a user using passwd -l option then the output of passwd -S reads as below # passwd -S testuser1 testuser1 LK 10/17/2011 0 99999 7 -1 Can any one tell me if pam_tally and passwd lock options understand each other, if yes, is there any other configuration I have to do..
