3383.0. "LK options. How many tries?" by KERNEL::LOAT (Keep passing the open windows...) Tue Oct 12 1993 09:46

    
    ALL-IN-1 3.0-1
    
    In the LK (Lock Keyboard) option, is it possible to change the number
    of tries which the users gets to enter the correct password.
    
    Looking at the named data, it appears that there is no parameter passed
    to the KBD_LOCK command, so I didn't think it would be possible to
    change this.
                                                
    On the customers system, they get 10 tries at this. They are running
    3.0-1. I've got two 3.0-1 systems here. and on one of them, we're
    allowed ten tries, and on the other, only six, so it looks like this
    has been changed somewhere.
    
    Is this possible, or am I overlooking something? (This has been known
    in the past! 8-] )
    
    Thanx
    
    Steve.

3383.1SYS$LCKB_FAILATTEMPTSIOSG::STANDAGETue Oct 12 1993 11:0519
    
    
    Steve,
    
    I believe for keyboard locking, ALL-IN-1 checks for the symbol
    SYS$LCKB_FAILATTEMPTS. If the value is blank then the default is used,
    which is 10.
    
    If you define SYS$LCKB_FAILATTEMPTS to be, say, 3:
    
    < GET SYS$LCKB_FAILATTEMPTS=3
    
    then the number of attempts permitted will be reduced to three times.
    
    
    Hope this helps,
    Kevin.
