Feature changed by: Hermes Notification System (opensuse_hermes) Feature #309311, revision 3 Title: GUI for PAM - openFATE: Unconfirmed - Priority - Requester: Important - openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed - Priority - Requester: Important Package Wishlist: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: The Liberator (l1b3rat0r) Description: I would like to see some kind of YAST-like tool for implementing PAM features for all types of logins. As it is now you can attempt unlimited logins via the terminal or a locked KDE screen. If there was a GUI for PAM that allowed the user to set maximum password tries, time-frames that login is allowed, and how long a session can last, then our computers would be much more secure. I have an encrypted hard drive, but once the computer is booted up and the hard drive is decrypted, I have no way of stopping a brute force attack. For the average user, PAM is too complicated to use all its features without reading for hours. This seems like the perfect feature to add to YAST. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309311
