Cripes! This explains sooooooo much!

Fun fact: sudo has an insults option you can activate in the sudoers file.

I wonder if sudo-rs breaks compatibility on insults as well...

[–] mech@feddit.org 19 points 3 weeks ago

Looks like insults aren't and won't be in sudo-rs.

But someone wrote a PAM module that insults you no matter where you mistype your user password:

You think using rust would fix sudo-rs? /sarcasm

Back in my day, you'd get beat up by Bob Dobbs for using sudo.

And then Newman pops up?

Sorry, this was just an 'image you can hear' for me, lol.
