HI All
A quick question...
I recently did a 'standard' netinstall version of Sarge. I've been playing with
/etc/login.defs, UNsuccessfully, trying to increase the delay for password
prompts from the current '3' second default if/when the wrong password is
entered during login.
I tried changing the FAIL_DELAY as denoted below:
<...snip...>
#
# Delay in seconds before being allowed another attempt after a login failure
#
FAIL_DELAY 30
<...snip...>
...however when I intentionally supply the wrong password, it STILL prompts for
new password '3' seconds later! I believe PAM is running but there's nothing in
the background that would indicate that:

Can anyone tell me how to increase the delay properly?
Much thx to the group,
