Greetings,
I have one question.
How to disable login (telnet or ftp or any rlogin) and warn user(display
text message), if user failed to login 3 times, may be due to wrong password
or wrong user name.
Is it a standard security service provided by any OS or do we have to
implement it ?.
I will sumarize the answer for the list.

Thanks in Advance,
Guru.
