Now with the move from RHEL4 where that version of openldap didn't
handle shadowmax and shadowlastchange properly to RHEL5.2 -- it works
correctly, I figure I'd implement -- I find a different problem in a
different piece....

Anyone having problems with pam_tally and it resetting the counter after
a succesful login?

I have (/etc/system-auth):

auth           required     pam_tally.so    onerr=fail per_user deny=3
audit
account        required     pam_tally.so    magic_root

(I can include the whole system-auth file if needed)

Now, as I understand -- by default on a successful login the counter
should be reset (via pam-setcred) and it is located in /var/log/faillog.
However, for some reason, it does not get reset; additionally, it seems
to continue counting even after the succesful login.  For example, 
- Counter=0; 
- via ssh - I fail a login (counter=1 and system auto-prompts for
password again); 
- I login correctly (now counter=2); 
- I log off and log back on succesfully (now counter=3); 
- I log off; I can no longer log on and counter contines to go up.
