This module maintains a count of attempted accesses, can reset count on
success, can deny access if too many attempts fail.
+pam_tally has several limitations, which are solved with pam_tally2. For this
+reason pam_tally is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
+
pam_tally comes in two parts: pam_tally.so and pam_tally. The former is the PAM
module and the latter, a stand-alone program. pam_tally is an (optional)
application which can be used to interrogate and manipulate the counter file.
