I have a client that would like his linux system to allow a user to try 3 times to login and if they keep making mistakes (or are trying to hack a password), disable that user until the root re-enables them.
Has anyone see an option like this? I know how I could mod the login to do this, but normally it would not be desirable... This guy is paranoid and a paying customer...:) I personally would put in a delay that doubled with every mistake... Starts at 1 sec, then 2, 4, 8, 16, 32... after a while even the most ardent hacker will give up...:) but that was not acceptable... Best regards. Tony Preston Cancer is Curable, Ask me why!
