Hide Forgot
I am working for a company that has a large number of employees and want a consistent employee ID number that works everywhere and lasts forever. Their numbering scheme has employee numbers in the 500,000,000 range. When I enable pam_tally via the below code it doesn't work as seeks in such a large /var/log/faillog file are not supported. This works (although badly) in rawhide. The faillog sparse file does not deliver adequate performance. What I would like to see is code in RHEL4U3 that performs as well as the code in rawhide (IE it basically works even though running "faillog" may take over a minute of CPU time). For the long-term we need a hash table as I requested in #198160. auth required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_tally.so onerr=fail no_magic_root account required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_tally.so deny=3 reset no_magic_root
