Apply login restriction via PAM
 

Folks,

Do you know how to do this,

1- After 3 login attempt , is it possible that account should be automatically getting locked.

2- Login id to be set at least 6 characters.

3- Force the passwd to contain combination of alphanumeric + special characters.

4- Enable mailx from the server . (Sending mails from the Linux server to Internet ID)

what the best way? ofcourse PAM tally or cracklib should be used. I could only solve it partially.

Cheers,
HM

Pam_tally

Pam_cracklib or Solar Designer's pam module for industrial strength rules.

4- Enable mailx from the server .
Isn't a security question, please add a new thread for this in Linux - General or like that. Make sure you elaborate on what you need, what you want and what went wrong when you tried stuff (configs, logs etc etc).

That's what I mean. The more information (configs, logs, etc etc) you give up front, the easier it is for any of us to help you.
