Fedora directory users - Nov 2006 - Failed logins = lockout ?

Is there a way to setup FDS to lockout an account after $number of failed
login attempts ? If so under ideal circumstances the account would only be
locked for a certain amount of time. I have checked google, and the wiki.
Nothing particularly useful, though a few people mention custom scripts to
handle this sort of thing.

Thanks.

Check the docs for password policies.
