RFE: Compile in insults, or if supported, as an optional subpackage for sudo. Don't make me insult anyone for refusing this ;) Optional stretch target: * List the insults subpackage as a dependency on *-release +++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1138758 +++ Description of problem: sudo with sssd/ldap doesn't work with 'insults' in sudoOption entry. dn: cn=defaults,ou=Sudoers,dc=my-domain,dc=com objectClass: top objectClass: sudoRole sudoOption: !requiretty sudoOption: authenticate sudoOption: insults cn: defaults dn: cn=rule1,ou=Sudoers,dc=my-domain,dc=com objectClass: top objectClass: sudoRole cn: rule1 sudoUser: userallowed sudoCommand: ALL sudoHost: ALL sudoHost: test.example.com [test]su - userallowed Last login: Fri Sep 5 10:44:49 EDT 2014 on pts/0 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.

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. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): sudo-1.8.6p7-11.el7 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: --- Additional comment from Daniel Kopeček on 2015-02-25 01:12:17 EST --- 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. --- Additional comment from David Spurek on 2015-02-25 01:16:51 EST --- Ok, so what about remove this option from man page? --- Additional comment from Daniel Kopeček on 2015-02-25 01:24:34 EST --- 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 :]
I was discussing this bug report on IRC with other users. I feel the customer use case is very much pointed out by this usage: < theraspberry_> CRCinAU: I have that change on all my machines < theraspberry_> sudo insults keep me from being lonely < theraspberry_> sometimes i'll just open up a terminal and type sudo echo just to type my password wrong I would like to believe that RedHat cares for the (in)sanity of the system administration world and allow us to feel the warm burn of a failed sudo attempt to bring joy to our world.
Closing. Sudo will stay well-mannered in RHEL.
