The file contains fixed length
|
|
records, indexed by numerical UID. Each record contains the count of
|
|
login failures since the last successful login; the maximum number of
|
|
failures before the account is disabled; the line on which the last login
|
|
failure occurred; the date of the last login failure;
|
|
and the duration (in seconds) during which the account will be locked after
|
|
a failure.
