unix_chkpwd[20884]: password check failed for user (admin) is displayed on console, while giving wrong password

Hi All,

When I am entering the wrong password, getting below error logs printed on the console, while earlier used to get only "Access denied" for an invalid password:

unix_chkpwd[20884]: password check failed for user (admin)
unix_chkpwd[31854]: password check failed for user (root)
unix_chkpwd[22765]: password check failed for user (sftpuser)

From where is it getting printed on the console, how can I suppress these messages coming on the console?
