LOCKING OUT ACCOUNTS 2

[johngiggs]

I am new to UNIX administration and I am currently testing on a Linux box. I am trying to determine which file I have to modify to change the number of login failures it takes to lock out a user. What is the command to check to see if a user is locked out? I know on Solaris it is /usr/local/sbin/login_limit, but I'm not sure what the command is in Linux. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

John
