说明

pam_faildelay is a PAM module that sets the delay applied after a failed authentication attempt. It overrides the FAIL_DELAY setting in `/etc/login.defs`. The delay is specified in microseconds (1,000,000 = 1 second). The module is configured in PAM service files (e.g., `/etc/pam.d/login`) and helps mitigate brute-force attacks by slowing down repeated authentication attempts.

参数

delay=_MICROSECONDS_
Delay in microseconds (1000000 = 1 second).
