how to enable account lockout policy in solaris 9

[prak]

Hi All,

How to enable account lock out policy after 3 retries. yes for all
users we can implement the /etc/default/login RETRIES=5 or 3 for all
system users. If specifically i need to exclude the root,oracle or
some system accounts not to lock out .how can these be done?

That's a feature new in S10 (which has been out for nearly three
years now) and not available in S9.

Hi Casper,

Thanks for your reply. By default even the /etc/default/login Retries
does not work for all system users in solaris 9. If you need to
implement the account lockout policy for all users then we need to
load the third party pam module. i had downlaoded from
http://www.comsmiths.com.au/pam/v1.05/ and installed the
PAM_LOGIN_LIMIT module and edited the /etc/pam.conf with above
mentioned PAM module i'm only able to implement the system wide
account lockout policy. But i was not able to exclude the specific
account like root,oracle if you find anything please let me know.

Thanks,
Prakash
