RE: exclude user from password policy?

Sorry, I should have been more clear.

Basically I created a PAM policy to disable accounts after 5 unsuccessful
logon attempts. Unfortunately, this included the ROOT account, which is
causing major headaches.

Just wondered if I could exclude the ROOT account in this PAM policy from
inheriting this disable policy?

Thanks

Anne

Hi all

Would someone be able to school me on how to exclude ROOT from my
password policies? It's constantly getting disabled by the policy and
of course I'm constantly having to hack it to get back in.

Thank you for your help.

Errrrr....what?
What do you mean with your password policies? You mean that sort of things
like password expiration, password minimum lenght and all that stuff?
