No, it's very simple. Do what I said in my comment. Add nodelay to the options for pam_unix.so and set pam_faildelay.so delay=0 That's it. You didn't link to any issue and the weird mistakes and justifications you're making feels like arguing with an LLM. You obviously can't run unix_chkpwd against a local account without root.

  No, I'm right. You can't run unix_chkpwd against a local account without root because you won't be able to access /etc/shadow to get the hash. If you think you can, explain how. Otherwise you have to use the setuid version which won't let you run it directly. And I just removed the delay using my method. Perhaps try checking something yourself?

    I don't understand how you can be so confidently wrong about something so easily checked. :D > You can't run unix_chkpwd against a local account without root because you won't be able to access /etc/shadow to get the hash. unix_chkpwd can access /etc/shadow because it is suid. > Otherwise you have to use the setuid version which won't let you run it directly. Haha you mean this? $ unix_chkpwd This binary is not designed for running in this way -- the system administrator has been informed Take a look at the source code I linked about 6 comments ago! > Perhaps try checking something yourself? I have. You haven't. printf 'hunter2\0' | unix_chkpwd yourusername nullok; echo $?
