Add these lines to /etc/pam.d/system-auth
auth required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_tally.so onerr=fail no_magic_root
account required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_tally.so deny=3 no_magic_root reset
Next, make a faillog:
# touch /var/log/faillog
Also, make sure /etc/pam.d/xscreensaver does not call system-auth, or you will
not be able to unlock your screensaver. This is because xscreensaver doesn't
have the rights to write to the faillog. I copied the contents of system-auth
and put it in xscreensaver, and then I removed the pam_tally lines. Overkill
probably, but it works for me.
