Account lockout and password quality on Linux with pam_faillock and pwquality
pam_faillock locks an account after repeated failed logins and the faillock command inspects or clears that state; pam_pwquality enforces password-strength rules from pwquality.conf. Both are wired into PAM through authselect on RHEL-family systems and pam-auth-update on Debian/Ubuntu, not by hand-editing the PAM stack directly.
