Hi folks,

As part of my audit requirement, I found pam_tally.so module will meet
the requirement to log out a user account after 3 failed password
attempts. BUT, the side effect is, every time I try to change an
account's password I get the dreaded

 "passwd: Authentication token manipulation error"

message. I even took the pam_tally.so entries from system-auth file
but the symptom is still there. Not a single trace of pam_tally
entries in any of the files in /etc/pam.d/ directory but the problem
persists.

Any help is much appreciated.

Cheers,
Win
