On the first 60 days only they need Sudo/privileged access and after the standard user Access is enough. How to fulfill the same.

However in a RHEL 5.11 server pam_tally2 seems not working well as pam_tally does, which means I have to use pam_tally to unlock such an account.

pam_tally --user= --reset

@Garima,

Sorry no idea about system-auth file as you’re using older version of RHEL, I never worked on RHEL 5, so better you should follow this guide, might be helpful to you..

Hi,

Any idea why the changes are not seen when I have updated the file.
