I'm doing a PCI audit for my company. One of the requirements is to
specify a lockout duration of 30 minutes after 6 failed login
attempts:
For a sample of system components, obtain and insp 8.5.14
rd parameters system configuration settings to verify that passwo
ed out, it are set to require that once a user account is lock
a system remains locked for a minimum of 30 minutes or until
administrator resets the account
I'm pretty sure this is a pam thing but does anyone know how this can
best be achieved?
