Running "sudo su -" successfully still causes the pam_tally2 fail count to increase.
Issue
- When user do "sudo su -" and enter password for authentication, it allows the sudo access but it increase the failure count by 1.
- I tried putting a bad password and it also increase the counter by 1 (so doesn't matter good or bad password and only doing sudo su - will increase the counter by 1).
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
- pam_tally2
