The former is the PAM module and the latter, a stand\-alone program\. -\fBpam_tally\fR -is an (optional) application which can be used to interrogate and manipulate the counter file\. It can display users\' counts, set individual counts, or clear all counts\. Setting artificially high counts may be useful for blocking users without changing their passwords\. For example, one might find it useful to clear all counts every midnight from a cron job\. The -\fBfaillog\fR(8) -command can be used instead of pam_tally to to maintain the counter file\. -.PP -Normally, failed attempts to access -\fIroot\fR -will -\fBnot\fR -cause the root account to become blocked, to prevent denial\-of\-service: if your users aren\'t given shell accounts and root may only login via -\fBsu\fR -or at the machine console (not telnet/rsh, etc), this is safe\. -.SH "OPTIONS" -.PP -GLOBAL OPTIONS -.RS 4 -This can be used for -\fIauth\fR -and -\fIaccount\fR -services\. -.PP -\fBonerr=[\fR\fB\fIfail\fR\fR\fB|\fR\fB\fIsucceed\fR\fR\fB]\fR -.RS 4 -If something weird happens (like unable to open the file), return with -\fBPAM_SUCESS\fR -if -\fBonerr=\fR\fB\fIsucceed\fR\fR -is given, else with the corresponding PAM error code\. -.RE -.PP -\fBfile=\fR\fB\fI/path/to/counter\fR\fR -.RS 4 -File where to keep counts\.
