configuration error - unknown item 'FAIL_DELAY'?
|
|
|
| I got this error pop up every time I physicaly login into console of my
server. This never happens when using SSH or anything else. The error
reads:
configuration error - unknown item 'FAIL_DELAY'
and pops up right after typing in the user name, but lets me enter my
password. And there are no other problems.
I have FAIL_DELAY set to 2 in the /etc/login.defs and I also have
pam_tally set on the server.
Any suggestions?

Any ideas guys? I know it may be simple, but I searched around and tried
few things with no luck. This started happening when I changed FAIL_DELAY
from 2 to 10. However I have changed it back subsequently but the problem
has stayed.
Thank you,

It looks like you've done an upgrade and now FAIL_DELAY is no longer a
valid option. Comment out that line in login.defs.
