# Only track failed user authentications attempts for local users
# in /etc/passwd and ignore centralized (AD, IdM, LDAP, etc.) users.
# The `faillock` command will also no longer track user failed
# authentication attempts. Enabling this option will prevent a
# double-lockout scenario where a user is locked out locally and
# in the centralized mechanism.
# Enabled if option is present.
# local_users_only
#
# Deny access if the number of consecutive authentication failures
# for this user during the recent interval exceeds n tries.
# The default is 3.
# deny = 3
#
# The length of the interval during which the consecutive
# authentication failures must happen for the user account
# lock out is &lt;replaceable&gt;n&lt;/replaceable&gt; seconds.
# The default is 900 (15 minutes).
# fail_interval = 900
#
# The access will be reenabled after n seconds after the lock out.
# The value 0 has the same meaning as value `never` - the access
# will not be reenabled without resetting the faillock
# entries by the `faillock` command.
# The default is 600 (10 minutes).
# unlock_time = 600
#
# Root account can become locked as well as regular accounts.
# Enabled if option is present.
# even_deny_root
#
# This option implies the `even_deny_root` option.
# Allow access after n seconds to root account after the
# account is locked. In case the option is not specified
# the value is the same as of the `unlock_time` option.
# root_unlock_time = 900
#
# If a group name is specified with this option, members
# of the group will be handled by this module the same as
# the root account (the options `even_deny_root&gt;` and
# `root_unlock_time` will apply to them.
# By default, the option is not set.
