pam_tally — The login counter (tallying) module

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

DESCRIPTION

This module maintains a count of attempted accesses, can reset count on
success, can deny access if too many attempts fail.

pam_tally has several limitations, which are solved with pam_tally2. For this
reason pam_tally is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.

pam_tally comes in two parts: pam_tally.so and pam_tally. The former is the PAM
module and the latter, a stand-alone program. pam_tally is an (optional)
application which can be used to interrogate and manipulate the counter file.
It can display users' counts, set individual counts, or clear all counts.
Setting artificially high counts may be useful for blocking users without
changing their passwords. For example, one might find it useful to clear all
counts every midnight from a cron job. The faillog(8) command can be used
instead of pam_tally to to maintain the counter file.

Normally, failed attempts to access root will not cause the root account to
become blocked, to prevent denial-of-service: if your users aren't given shell
accounts and root may only login via su or at the machine console (not telnet/
rsh, etc), this is safe.

OPTIONS

GLOBAL OPTIONS

This can be used for auth and account module types.

onerr=[fail|succeed]

If something weird happens (like unable to open the file), return with
        PAM_SUCCESS if onerr=succeed is given, else with the corresponding PAM
        error code.

file=/path/to/counter

File where to keep counts. Default is /var/log/faillog.

audit

Will log the user name into the system log if the user is not found.

silent

Don't print informative messages.

no_log_info

Don't log informative messages via syslog(3).

AUTH OPTIONS

Authentication phase first checks if user should be denied access and if
    not it increments attempted login counter. Then on call to pam_setcred(3)
    it resets the attempts counter.

deny=n

Deny access if tally for this user exceeds n.

lock_time=n

Always deny for n seconds after failed attempt.

unlock_time=n

Allow access after n seconds after failed attempt. If this option is
        used the user will be locked out for the specified amount of time after
        he exceeded his maximum allowed attempts. Otherwise the account is
        locked until the lock is removed by a manual intervention of the system
        administrator.

magic_root

If the module is invoked by a user with uid=0 the counter is not
        incremented. The sysadmin should use this for user launched services,
        like su, otherwise this argument should be omitted.

no_lock_time

Do not use the .fail_locktime field in /var/log/faillog for this user.

no_reset

Don't reset count on successful entry, only decrement.

even_deny_root_account

Root account can become unavailable.

per_user

If /var/log/faillog contains a non-zero .fail_max/.fail_locktime field
        for this user then use it instead of deny=n/ lock_time=n parameter.

no_lock_time

Don't use .fail_locktime filed in /var/log/faillog for this user.

ACCOUNT OPTIONS

Account phase resets attempts counter if the user is not magic root. This
    phase can be used optionally for services which don't call pam_setcred(3)
    correctly or if the reset should be done regardless of the failure of the
    account phase of other modules.

magic_root

no_reset

Don't reset count on successful entry, only decrement.

EXAMPLES

Add the following line to /etc/pam.d/login to lock the account after too many
failed logins. The number of allowed fails is specified by /var/log/faillog and
needs to be set with pam_tally or faillog(8) before.

auth     required       pam_securetty.so

session  required       pam_limits.so
session  required       pam_unix.so
session  required       pam_lastlog.so nowtmp
session  optional       pam_mail.so standard
