Here's the system-auth:

#%PAM-1.0
# This file is auto-generated.
# User changes will be destroyed the next time authconfig is run.
auth        required      /lib/security/pam_env.so
auth        required    /lib/security/pam_tally.so onerr=fail no_magic_root
auth        sufficient    /lib/security/pam_unix.so likeauth nullok
auth        required      /lib/security/pam_deny.so


account     required      /lib/security/pam_unix.so
account     required 	/lib/security/pam_tally.so deny=3 no_magic_root
per_user

password    required      /lib/security/pam_cracklib.so retry=3 type=
password    sufficient    /lib/security/pam_unix.so nullok use_authtok md5
shadow
password    required      /lib/security/pam_deny.so

session     required      /lib/security/pam_limits.so
session     required      /lib/security/pam_unix.so

Now, at a glance, it's nice and pretty, and works perfect... Until a reboot.
At that point, ALL accounts, root too, are locked.  So the system is
completely cutoff.  

Anyone ever really use pam_tally?  I've found more incorrect posts from
people quoting man pages than actual info that works.
