AIX

Hi,
We are using 4.3.3.0 and I would like to make a global change to the "number of failed logins before user account is locked"

Any ideas, other than using SMIT one user at a time.... ???

Thanks... Craig.

Hi,

you could do that by editing file /etc/security/user. Just add to "default:" part of that file line "loginretries = <number of failed logins you want>".

Just remember that any values specified in users part of that file will overwrite entries in default part.

Quote from instructions on /etc/security/user file:

* loginretries The number of invalid login attempts before a user is not
* allowed to login. Possible values: a positive integer or 0
* to disable this feature.

Thanks Tommy, worked a treat....
