Wrong password? This sudo will "taunt" you.

Guide

You will have a lot of fun in the Linux terminal. What I'm going to talk about today is not running the train in the terminal. The skills I'm going to talk about today can relax your mood. You've learned how to increase the time-out of the sudo command on the command line, and in today's article I'll show you how to get sudo to "taunt" you (or someone else) with the wrong password.

Confused about what I said? Here, let's look at this GIF to see how sudo can "taunt" you after you've lost the wrong password.
So, why do you do this? After all, "taunt" doesn't make your day happy, does it? For me, a little bit of skill is interesting and more interesting than the previous "Password error" error message. In addition, I can show my friends to tease them (this example is through free open source software). I'm pretty sure you have your own reasons to use this technique.

enable "taunt" in sudo

You can add the following line to the sudo configuration to enable the taunt feature:

Defaults Insults

Let's see what we can do. Open the terminal and use the following command:

sudo visudo

This opens the configuration file in the nano. Yes, I know the traditional ' visudo ' should open the/etc/sudoers file in VI, but Ubuntu and the release based on it will open with the nano. Since we are discussing VI, there is a VI speed check table that you can use when you decide to use VI. Back to the Edit Sudeors file interface, you need to find the line where the Defaults is located. Simple enough, just add defaults insults at the beginning of the file, like this:
If you are using the Nano, use Ctrl+x to exit the editor. When you exit, it asks if you want to save the changes. To save your changes, press "Y". Once you have saved the sudoers file, open the terminal and use sudo to run the various commands. Deliberately enter the wrong password and enjoy the taunt: sudo may be angry. See, he even threatened me after I lost another mistake.
