From looking at the code in GDM, it doesn't seem to call pam_fail_delay itself; that code seems disabled. Instead, it has its own sleep calls. I didn't realize that pam_unix calls pam_fail_delay itself. It looks like I can make this delay go away for gdm by putting "nodelay" on the pam_unix line in /etc/pam.d/gdm (which will require replacing the include of common-auth with its contents). However, I don't see any way to reduce the delay without turning it off completely. - Josh Triplett
