From f950752b90a5d9f2a6733aeaa30569459514ff9f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Karel Zak Date: Mon, 7 Nov 2011 11:04:44 +0100 Subject: login: clean FAIL_DELAY usage ... with this patch: login(1) always uses sleep(FAIL_DELAY) before exit() if user is not authenticated or his PAM session is not fully initialized. Note that user has three attempts to write his password before login(1) is terminated.
