+      Maximum number of login retries in case of bad password.

+    <para condition="pam">
+      This will most likely be overridden by PAM, since the default
+      pam_unix module has its own built in of 3 retries. However, this is
+      a safe fallback in case you are using an authentication module that
+      does not enforce PAM_MAXTRIES.
