Red Hat Linux 6.8

Hi,

I am currently doing a hardening on a Linux server.

I want to lock user accounts after x number of failed attempts. I followed the steps in the link above.

I see the account is not getting locked when logging as user mtadmin after more than 3 attempts.

Please help

Regards,

Joe
