Thanks a lot. Please corrrect if my understanding below is what you have
suggested.

create a separate service conf file such as lockout-users in /etc/pam.d,
then in my service conf file, i write like this
auth required pam_stack.so service=lockout-users

After that whenever i want to disable the lockout, just edit the
/etc/pam.d/lockout-users file
and comment as below:

#auth required pam_able.so

Best Regards,
Ivan
