Lockout Duration in AiX
Is there a way to set the lockout duration in AIX? i.e. the account is locked out and it will unlock itself in 30 minutes?
That kind of thing?
If so, how?
Thanks
Josh

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
AIX doesn't have any of this capability built in, but you can build it yourself. Mostly with your own scripts and cron jobs.
Some use of these two variables may be a good place to start:
unsuccessful_login_count in /etc/security/lastlog and
login_retries in /etc/security/user.
Good Luck,
Kent
