Sudo Insults

From http://www.bani.com.br/index.php/2007/01/17/sudo-insults/

An interesting sudo feature is the ability to insult you when you type a wrong password. It has really funny phrases, see some of them:

  • I’ve seen penguins that can type better than that.
  • Maybe if you used more than just two fingers

On Ubuntu, this feature comes disabled by default. To enable it, edit /etc/sudoers file with visudo and put insults in the end of line “Defaults”. That line will look like this:

Defaults !lecture,tty_tickets,!fqdn,insults

That’s it! Just run the sudo command and type a wrong password.

This sounds really funny. Although I can predict that there will be a sudden spike in the wrong passwords. Haha.

Angsty

And sometimes I wish I could just trash everything, if only to make myself feel better for a few moments.
