You will get following output: 1) $ faillog user error maximum last accountname 1 0 Do Jul 29 22:54:34 +0200 2004 an unknown 2) $ pam_tally User accountname (510) has 1 If the configured maximum is reached - in my given patch it was 3 - you won't be able to login with the account even with the correct password. As long as below the limit a correct login will reset the error count. "man 5 faillog" and "man 8 faillog" or "faillog -h" for more infos "pam_tally -h" for parameters Alexander -- Alexander Dalloz | Enger, Germany | GPG key 1024D/ED695653 1999-07-13 Fedora GNU/Linux Core 2 (Tettnang) kernel 2.6.6-1.435.2.3.ad.umlsmp Serendipity 22:54:36 up 3 days, 8:01, load average: 0.06, 0.10, 0.09
