Hi,
I am trying to set a maximum number of login retries for the root account on a server to 3. I am able to do it for all other users, but it seems as though the root account is exempt from this.
I have tried everything I know (/etc/security/user) and even tried locking the account, but root is still always able to log in. The best I can manage is to restrict root login to the console, but this is not what the client wants.
Anyone have any ideas? The IBM support website is unhelpful.
Thanks LHLTech
