This rule configures the system to lock out accounts during a specified time period after a
number of incorrect login attempts using pam_faillock.so
.
Ensure that the file /etc/security/faillock.conf
contains the following entry:
unlock_time=<interval-in-seconds>
where
interval-in-seconds
is 0
or greater.
pam_faillock.so module requires multiple entries in pam files. These entries must be carefully
defined to work as expected. In order to avoid any errors when manually editing these files,
it is recommended to use the appropriate tools, such as authselect
or authconfig
,
depending on the OS version.
If unlock_time
is set to 0
, manual intervention by an administrator is required
to unlock a user. This should be done using the faillock
tool.
By limiting the number of failed logon attempts the risk of unauthorized system access via user password guessing, otherwise known as brute-forcing, is reduced. Limits are imposed by locking the account.
The following script can be run on the host to remediate the issue.

If the system supports the new /etc/security/faillock.conf
file but the
pam_faillock.so parameters are defined directly in /etc/pam.d/system-auth
and
/etc/pam.d/password-auth
, the remediation will migrate the unlock_time
parameter
to /etc/security/faillock.conf
to ensure compatibility with authselect
tool.
The parameters deny
and fail_interval
, if used, also have to be migrated
by their respective remediation.
