My work requires mutliple user systems to automatically lock out a user
account after 3 login authentication failures. I am running 5.1 and I have
not seen anything like this in PAM or login.conf (though the is the
login-backoff option, but thats not exactly what I want).

Any way to do this?

Thanks
Mike C
