[gentoo-user] disable password wait time

[thelma]

I forgot, how to disable password wait time 10min when wrong password is entered.
Where is the setting?

I'm not sure if it is the correct but setting in:  /etc/security/faillock.conf
deny = 0

Solved the problem.

When I was searching some more after my reply, I noticed it is in
different places depending on what you use for security/passwords.  I
think I use pam here.  You may be using something else. 

Oddly, I don't recall seeing the one you said worked anywhere tho.  So,
it appears there is quite a few places that setting can be, even if
google doesn't know it.  lol 

Glad you got it working.  That's what matters.
