[TechTalk] password aging, limiting login retries, /etc/pam.d follies

>From your signature, you are using Libranet about which all I know is
that it is Debian based.

I'm still stuck with RedHat systems. But, on RH systems password aging
settings are still in /etc/login.defs. Regarding maximum login attempts
I got something about pam_tally. If you wnat to restrict maximum logins
(simultaneously) of a user, its pam_limits and the conf file is
/etc/security/limits.conf.

But, I'm not sure if the the above info will be helpful or not :-/

HTH,
