Edit the file `/etc/sudoers` and find the line:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Defaults env_reset
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now add `,insults` to the end of the line so that it reads like that:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Defaults env_reset,insults
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
From now on, *sudo* will insult anyone who mistypes his password. See for yourself:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
> [sudo] password for foo:
|
|
|
|
|
> *Hold it up to the light --- not a brain in sight!*
|
|
|
|
|
> [sudo] password for foo:
|
|
|
|
|
> *Speak English you fool --- there are no subtitles in this scene.*
|
|
|
|
|
> [sudo] password for foo:
|
|
|
|
|
> *I think … err … I think … I think I'll go home*
