+      Note that the PAM_FAIL_DELAY item is set to NULL by default. This
+      indicates that PAM should perform a random delay as described
+      above when authentication fails and a delay has been suggested.
+      If an application does not want the PAM library to perform any
+      delay on authentication failure, then the application must define
+      a custom delay function that executes no statements and set
+      the PAM_FAIL_DELAY item to point to this function.
