Thanks Marcus. With this in mind, is there a timeline when SLES 9 will support pam_tally? Or better yet, is there a PAM approach/aternative to locking out account for a window of time, and automatically unlocking these accounts? I'm sure some will want locked accounts to stay locked until manually being unlocked.

Thanks again,
Greg

I've been trying to get pam_tally.so to work on a SLES 9 system, and I continue to see warnings about unknown options when I use lock_time and unlock_time. I've spent hours trying to find a resolution, but none thus far. Listed below is a snippet from syslog.

The SLES9 version of pam_tally does not know these options yet.

Ciao, Marcus
