It clearly has a delay because it is set in a file, and it may be different files depending on how you have your system set up(e.g PAM authentication) but this is the default on all linux machines.Unless of course you wanted me to explain how this file is read and how the system processes this and delays the login, which seems a bit out of scope for this question. | |
