I don't want it .. ever.. How do I disable this?
Sudo stops working, I can't login anywhere and I have to reboot.

it's deny=3, it locks everything up when I mess up the password to sudo 3 times.
Quite horrid feature which just makes me want to kill random processes...
Edit: I just have no idea where it's set so I can remove it.

Plz do that
| Code: |
echo "<username> ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL" | sudo tee /etc/sudoers.d/<username>
|
This wii enable passwordless sudo
In
/etc/pam.d/system-auth
these are the culprits
| Code: |
auth requisite pam_faillock.so preauth
auth [default=die] pam_faillock.so authfail
account required pam_faillock.so
|
maybe you add a very high deny value
| Code: |
auth requisite pam_faillock.so preauth deny=1000
auth [default=die] pam_faillock.so authfail deny=1000
account required pam_faillock.so
|
But fedeliallalinea's solution is much more elegant and neat.

Maybe set deny = 0 in /etc/security/faillock.conf?

I don't want to disable the password. I want PAM to gtfo.

Ah ha! Pretty sure that's it, thanks a bunch. I'll test it.

| Remove pam. It takes some work. |

I wish. Seriously, if there had been a PAM-less installation guide, I would have used it.
/etc/security/faillock.conf is the short hand solution.
