+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+This module maintains a count of attempted accesses, can reset count on success, can deny access if too many attempts fail\&.
+.PP
+pam_tally has several limitations, which are solved with pam_tally2\&. For this reason pam_tally is deprecated and will be removed in a future release\&.
+.PP
+pam_tally comes in two parts:
+\fBpam_tally\&.so\fR
+and
+\fBpam_tally\fR\&. The former is the PAM module and the latter, a stand\-alone program\&.
+\fBpam_tally\fR
+is an (optional) application which can be used to interrogate and manipulate the counter file\&. It can display user counts, set individual counts, or clear all counts\&. Setting artificially high counts may be useful for blocking users without changing their passwords\&. For example, one might find it useful to clear all counts every midnight from a cron job\&. The
+\fBfaillog\fR(8)
+command can be used instead of pam_tally to to maintain the counter file\&.
+.PP
+Normally, failed attempts to access
+\fIroot\fR
+will
+\fBnot\fR
+cause the root account to become blocked, to prevent denial\-of\-service: if your users aren\*(Aqt given shell accounts and root may only login via
+\fBsu\fR
+or at the machine console (not telnet/rsh, etc), this is safe\&.
+.SH "OPTIONS"
+.PP
+GLOBAL OPTIONS
+.RS 4
+This can be used for
+\fIauth\fR

+\fIaccount\fR
+module types\&.
+.PP
+\fBonerr=[\fR\fB\fIfail\fR\fR\fB|\fR\fB\fIsucceed\fR\fR\fB]\fR
+.RS 4
+If something weird happens (like unable to open the file), return with
+\fBPAM_SUCCESS\fR
+if
+\fBonerr=\fR\fB\fIsucceed\fR\fR
+is given, else with the corresponding PAM error code\&.

+.PP
+AUTH OPTIONS
+.RS 4
+Authentication phase first checks if user should be denied access and if not it increments attempted login counter\&. Then on call to
+\fBpam_setcred\fR(3)
+it resets the attempts counter\&.
+.PP
+\fBdeny=\fR\fB\fIn\fR\fR

+\fIn\fR\&.

+seconds after failed attempt\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fBunlock_time=\fR\fB\fIn\fR\fR
+.RS 4
+Allow access after
+\fIn\fR
+seconds after failed attempt\&. If this option is used the user will be locked out for the specified amount of time after he exceeded his maximum allowed attempts\&. Otherwise the account is locked until the lock is removed by a manual intervention of the system administrator\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fBmagic_root\fR
+.RS 4
+If the module is invoked by a user with uid=0 the counter is not incremented\&. The sysadmin should use this for user launched services, like
+\fBsu\fR, otherwise this argument should be omitted\&.

+ACCOUNT OPTIONS
+.RS 4
+Account phase resets attempts counter if the user is
+\fBnot\fR
+magic root\&. This phase can be used optionally for services which don\*(Aqt call
+\fBpam_setcred\fR(3)
+correctly or if the reset should be done regardless of the failure of the account phase of other modules\&.
