Hi Monu,

Try with this line. It is working for me without any problem.

auth        required      pam_tally.so  no_magic_root

account     required    pam_tally.so per_user deny=5 no_magic_root reset

Let me know.

Regards,
Vasudeva

Thanks Joe, but as per documents, deny and unlock_time are auth
options, not thee account options. When I changed the config as you
mentioned:

account     required      pam_tally.so deny=2

the
error "unknown option deny" stopped coming but it didn't make any
difference in the time it waits after wrong passwd, even if I make it
20. The version, I can't change because of some dependency reasons.
