In relation to this field, i would add my experience: i have (some years ago) 
hacked pubcookie to use pam_ldap, with all pam features; between them: 
password expiring (pam accounting), password change, pam_crack and pam_tally; 
i think that pam_tally is a good enhancement against attacks like in your 
post; i would add (my very modest opinion) that pam authentication should be 
a must for pubcookie, generally speaking!
