Alteration of login failed message and font size

[vishwajithsandaru]

"Wrong" message for an incorrect password is changed to "access denied", and the font size is reduced.

Putting aside that the commits are broken and include two independent changes... What are the reasons for these changes?

[vishwajithsandaru]

In practical its better to say "access denied" and looks professional than "wrong" during a login failure to a computer, but when the message is changed to "access denied" the default font size seems to be too large and there is a lack of space to some of the letters and they are going out of the field, so I reduced the font size littlebit.

That's just restating your change, it doesn't give an argument. We currently return the information PAM gives us, I see no reason to change this.

Sorry for the inconvenience , actually I stated a common problem that arose from user experiences in my area. If you are able could you please explain me the thing with the authentication module - "We currently return the information PAM gives us" ...

That was actually a mistake on my side. :-) It's not the PAM result, just our internal status. Still, I feel that "Access Denied", as it stands, is inconsistent with the other texts we display ("locking…", "verifying…", "lock failed!") and I don't see a convincing reason for any change other than personal preference.

I'm going to close this for now for the mentioned reasons.
