RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

su: warning: cannot change directory to /home/userallowed: No such file or directory
-bash-4.2$ sudo true
[sudo] password for userallowed: 
Sorry, try again.


Should should print some 'insults' instead of 'Sorry, try again.' Some examples are here: http://www.cnx-software.com/2012/06/05/how-to-let-sudo-insult-you-when-you-type-the-wrong-password/

This option looks like 'for fun' for me but we have this option in man page and it should work.

Comment 1 Daniel Kopeček 2015-02-24 14:12:17 UTC 
This is because we don't configure sudo to include insults at compile time:

configure:4994: checking whether to include insults
configure:5021: result: no

This is fixable by using --with-insults=yes. Do we really need this? I don't think so, since there's no customer case attached to this BZ... If there will be demand for this feature, we can easily fix it. Closing for now.
Comment 2 David Spurek 2015-02-24 14:16:51 UTC 
Ok, so what about remove this option from man page?
Comment 3 Daniel Kopeček 2015-02-24 14:24:34 UTC 
Probably not worth the effort, there are more serious bugs to work on. The option is there and it's accepted by sudo, there are just no insults in the database. Maybe some of our customers will read the man page, see the option there, and file a BZ demanding some insults to be included... If we hide it, they may never discover this cool option.

But if you insist, I'll fix it either way :]
