How do you implement user account lockout in Redhat Linux?

i.e. a user has "x" number of failed logins in a row and then the 
account is locked out for some specified period of time or until an 
administrator unlocks it.

Would adding the following line to "/etc/pam.d/login" work to implement 
this?

auth       required     /lib/security/pam_tally.so deny=5

Also, how would you implement the amount of time the account is locked 
out? (i.e. 60 minutes, forever, etc)
