Where is the text file where insults come from? Thanks in advance.

We streamline processes, we install faster CPUs and GPUs, just to make our PCs run microseconds faster. But then we engage in such juvenile stunts like displaying insults instead of a plain Bad Password message.

Well, Red Hat and CentOS users will not use this parameter then. Thanks for mentioning that, we will include it the article.

The last attempt does not show an insult. Again, yes, it repeats the comment and specifies the number of attempts. And you can configure the number of password tries using the passwd_tries parameter as below:

Defaults passwd_tries=5(specify the number of tries you want)
