Description lone_iguana 2003-07-07 16:11:15 UTC
When I emerged the latest version of shadow I noticed that now su does not delay
after a failed login. I think this could be a security problem.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge shadow >=sys-apps/shadow-4.03-r6
2. su (type in a bogus password)
3. don't wait

I accidently hit the refresh button, this is the same as bug 24081. Please close it or delete it. Sorry.
