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

Hi JoshFink,

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
yes u can do it
read the file
#cd /etc/security
#vi login.cfg (or any editor u like most)

the parameter in this file help u a lot
