A NB question here.

I am trying to limit the number of allowed login attempts against my 
FreeBSD box. I cannot find anything for a limit to this other than; 
login-retries=x in the /etc/login.conf. This does not seem to work with 5.0 
Release, which is what I am running.

A nudge to the FM or Man Pages would be helpful.

Thanks
Bob
