The last is 8.5.13 locking users out after 6 failed login attempts. Quite frankly I find this to be a pretty stupid requirement as it causes a built in denial of service. I see how creating a custom Authentication style would allow me to do this (in spite of my reservations), but I don't really do much in the way of c coding these days. I have been looking at the code in login.c and login_passwd.c and I understand about half of it (I think). If anyone could give me a shove in the right direction I would sincerely appreciate it.
You might also want to see if you can accomplish what you want with login_radius or login_ldap (the latter is in ports) and a RADIUS or LDAP server.
