pam_faillock, A Lockout Proven To Lock And To Let Go

An account lockout on EL 10, put into the authentication stack through authselect because /etc/pam.d/system-auth is a generated symlink. The live test fails one account past the limit and watches the RIGHT password be refused, fails a second one short of the limit and watches it keep working, then resets the first and watches it come back. Original role, live-tested on Rocky Linux 10.

Provider drift

This artifact declares no Terraform provider requirements, so there is nothing to drift. Provider freshness applies to Terraform and OpenTofu modules.

What depends on this

No reference architecture names this module, so changing it affects only configurations that reference it directly.

Nearest alternatives

Same cloud, same category. These are what you would weigh against it without changing provider.
