<p>This makes complete sense!  You definitely want the user to be notified immediately.  However, the same effect happens with the call <tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">pam_set_item(pamh, PAM_FAIL_DELAY, NULL)</tt>.  The Linux-PAM library documentation makes it clear that, when this is set to <tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">NULL</tt>, no delay will happen.</p>
