Can I permanently lock a user account with pam_tally ?
Hi,
I try to lock out an user account permanently with pam_tally if the predefined max. unsuccessful login attemp reached, I understand 'unlock_time' can take seconds as input but I don't know what's the max value I can use and also is wondering can I use something like -1 to indicate lock out forever ?
p.s. I understand there are other commands such as 'passwd -l user_id' can do the job but I just want to know if pam_tally can to it.
Thanks,
David
