PAM doesn't block my account after 5 failed logins
I would like to block account after 5 failed password on login screen. I follow this article but it doesn't takes effect. I don't know why. This is the content of my /etc/pam.d/system-auth file :

I use CentOS 6.5, pam says that there is 0 failures.
EDIT :
The account is locked after 5 try but if I restart the computer, the account is unlocked... Why ?

PAM locks the account of a specific amount of time or until you restart the server as PAM is designed to lock the account temporaly, not permanently.

I suppose that you have restarted the system in order to apply all the changes, otherwise the login application could not be recognising the changes.
You have to also apply the restrictions in the /etc/pam.d/login
file to be sure that PAM will block the access after unsuccessful logins in every cases as each PAM module has different purpouses.
login: Rules for local login.
system-auth: Common rules for many services.
password-auth: Common rules for many remote services.
sshd: Rules for SSHD daemon only.

I finded the good order and good syntax. I make severals tests and finnaly it works. Maybe the problem was a typing error.
So this is the PAM's parameters to block a user after 5 try on lock screen.
The parameters contains also some rules to prevent too simple password changing.
Note : The counter is reset when computer restarts.

I finded the good order and good syntax. I make severals tests and finnaly it works. Maybe the problem was a typing error.
So this is the PAM's parameters to block a user after 5 try on lock screen.
The parameters contains also some rules to prevent too simple password changing.
Note : The counter is reset when computer restarts.

PAM locks the account of a specific amount of time or until you restart the server as PAM is designed to lock the account temporaly, not permanently.
