I m using Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.1 (Tikanga) and I'm trying to setup password lockout policy so that a user account locks out after 3 failed attempts.
Here are the entires of my /etc/pam.d/system-auth

# This file is auto-generated.
# User changes will be destroyed the next time authconfig is run.
auth required pam_env.so

auth sufficient pam_unix.so nullok try_first_pass
auth requisite pam_succeed_if.so uid >= 500 quiet
auth required pam_deny.so
account required pam_unix.so
account required pam_tally.so deny=3 no_magic_root reset
account sufficient pam_succeed_if.so uid < 500 quiet
