[sllug-members]: bad password delays

I use Xscreensaver to lock my screen.  Frequently, when coming back, I'm
in a hurry to type in my password, and hence mistype it.  This wouldn't
be so bad, except that Xscreensaver takes 5 seconds before it rejects
the password and lets me try again.  I suspect this is due to a pam
setting, but I've been unable to figure out how to bump it down to say,
1 second.  Does anyone have any thoughts on how to attack this.  This is
on a Suse 10.0 box.
