#36: pam_fail_delay() inconsistent delay distribution ---------------------+------------------------------ Reporter: szidek | Owner: pam-developers@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Component: library Version: 1.1.x | Keywords: Blocked By: | Blocking: ---------------------+------------------------------ Man page says: Should pam_authenticate(3) fail, the failing return to the application is delayed by an amount of time randomly distributed (by up to 25%) about this longest value. However, code uses distribution 50%. (Comments also say 25%.) I think these values should be consistent. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/linux-pam/ticket/36> linux-pam <http://fedorahosted.org/linux-pam> The Linux-PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) project
