Paul, The failed attempt locking mechanism that you mentioned can be implemented with PAM modules. See: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/pam/Linux-PAM-html/pam.html And checkout http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/pam/Linux-PAM-html/pam-6.html#ss6.3 Or some creative shell scripting tied in users login profiles -----Original Message----- From: Paul Aviles [mailto:paviles@adjoined.com] Sent: August 24, 2005 11:16 AM To: focus-linux@securityfocus.com Subject: RE: linux password cracking tools Is there a way to lock passwords for lets say 5 minutes after so many bad attempts and for them to reset automatically after certain period? We do this under Windows and Netware and your email just made me wonder under linux. Just curious if possible or any tips.

Some should be more relevant than others, depending on what kind of passwords you want to crack :) Drop me an email if you need the links to these tools, but googling around should give you what's needed. Hope this helps ...
