    Paul,

    The failed attempt locking mechanism that you mentioned can be implemented with PAM modules.

    See: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/pam/Linux-PAM-html/pam.html
    And checkout
    http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/pam/Linux-PAM-html/pam-6.html#ss6.3

    Or some creative shell scripting tied in users login profiles

    Is there a way to lock passwords for lets say 5 minutes after so many bad attempts and for them to reset automatically after certain period? We do this under Windows and Netware and your email just made me wonder under linux. Just curious if possible or any tips.

    Regards,

    -pa

    There are so plenty password cracking tools around the web:

    - Anger
    - Cain & Abel
    - Crack
    - Hydra
    - John The Ripper
    - LCP
    - LM Crack
    - L0phtCrack 4
    - PWdump3
    - RainbowCrack
    - THC KeyFinder
    - Venom
    - YaHa
    - ...

    Some should be more relevant than others, depending on what kind of passwords you want to crack :)

    Drop me an email if you need the links to these tools, but googling around should give you what's needed.

    Hope this helps ...
