AIX and Red Hat /etc/security files
In AIX; /etc/security/user and /etc/security/lastlog are files I use heavily to set expiration and clear failed login attempts. What are the equivalent files in Red Hat?

Password length and life settings are in /etc/login.defs. Password tries before lockout, complexity requirements, and history can be set in /etc/pam.d/system-auth. You can include pam_tally2 to set the number of failed attempts before lockout, pam_cracklib or pam_passwdqc to require complex passwords, or add "remember=n" to prevent users from reusing passwords.
