Since the site is slow-->I recently found a fun feature available within the sudo program that will insult you when you do the wrong thing such as enter your password incorrectly. I?ll tell you how you can activate the feature for a few laughs and also give a few examples of what insults you might get.To turn the feature on you?ll need to use the following command: sudo visudo(always use visudo when you need to edit your sudoers file as it has a self-check system that won?t let you screw it up.)Find the line that begins with Default and append insults to the end. (Any addition to that line is comma separated.) Your entry will then look like this: Defaults !lecture,tty_tickets,!fqdn,insultsSave the file and you?ll notice the next time you screw up your sudo password you?ll get an insult.Note: to clear your sudo session and be required to enter the password again try: sudo -KA few examples below: Maybe if you used more than just two fingers? I have been called worse. Listen, burrito brains, I don?t have time to listen to this trash.Good luck!
1. It's a SUDO feature, not Ubuntu2. It's not even the default, so YOU have to turn it on manually...It's a feature, but Ubuntu does not insult anyone by default.NocturnUbuntuforums.org moderator
What I really want to know is if I can make it ask "Got root?" rather than "Password:", in accordance with several pieces of my ThinkGeek apparel...And whether this can also be applied to OS X, seeing as there's some sort of *nix-ey thing under the hood.

Gentoo users will have to reemerge sudo with the USE flag 'offensive'. Toss this line into etc/portage/package.use:app-admin/sudo offensive
