Patch for Bad Password Attempt Lockout, samba3.0a22.

Thu Mar 27 19:58:24 GMT 2003


   Remember, this opens up a new vulnerability, to denial
of service attacks.  See, for example
http://www.uksecurityonline.com/threat/password.php

   If you're implementing this, implement the approved strategy,
also use by NT, of locking it for a settable period, and
not locking out priveledged accounts.

   From 
http://calnetad.berkeley.edu/documentation/technical/uc_domain_policy.html

Account lockout duration
	Sets the number of minutes an account will be locked out.
	 Allowable values are 0 (account is lockout out until
	 administrator unlocks it) or between 1 and 99999 minutes.

	WARNING: Setting this value to 0 (until administrator
	unlocks) may allow a potential denial of service attack.
	It is important to note that the built-in Administrator
	 account cannot be locked out.
