Hi,

in order to make bruteforce password attacks more difficult, I'd like 
to implement a mechanism which locks an user account after a 
certain number of failed login attempts for a limited period of 15 
minutes.

Any solutions?

I know that account locking can be done with pam_tally but haven't 
found any information how to limit it only to a period of time.

Regards,
 Thomas
