Does anyone know whether there is a PAM module or equivalent which can be used to make a system shutdown if there are repeated login failures at the console, sort of like pam_tally2 or denyhosts, but with configurable behaviour?
My idea is: if I've left my laptop logged on with the screen locked, and it is stolen at that point, I'd like a sequence of failed login attempts in a row to cause the system to shut down, thereby locking my crypto disks. (I know this is not a perfect security approach, but it just makes it somewhat more difficult for a knowledgeable thief to do anything useful with my data.)
