Sudo password input error prompt can be customized to a variety of. In today's post, I'll show you how to get sudo to "taunt" you (or anyone else) when you type the wrong password XD

Doubt what I'm saying? Here, let's take a look at this gif to see how sudo "taunts" you when you type the wrong password.

So, why do this? After all, sarcasm doesn't make your day any better, does it?

To me, a little trick is fun, and more fun than the old "password error" error prompt. Plus, I can show it to my friends to tease them (in this case, via free and open source software). I'm sure you have your own reasons for using this technique.

Enable taunt in sudo

You can enable taunt by adding the following line to the sudo configuration:

The code is as follows:

Defaults insults

Let's see how we do it. Open the terminal and use the following command:

The code is as follows:

sudo visudo

This opens the profile in nano.

Yes, I know that traditional 'visudo' should open the/etc/sudoers file in vi, but Ubuntu and distributions based on it open it with nano. Since we're talking about vi, here's a quick vi lookup table to use if you decide to use vi.

Going back to the Edit sudeors screen, you need to find the line where the Defaults are located. It's simple, just add Default insulation at the beginning of the file, like this:

If you are using nano, use Ctrl+X to exit the editor. On exit, it asks if you want to save your changes. To save your changes, press Y.

Once you have saved the sudoers file, open the terminal and run various commands using sudo. Deliberately enter the wrong password and enjoy the taunt: )

Sudo might be angry. See, he even threatened me after I made another mistake. haha.
