 |
|
Hi there!
Check this out:
| Code: | bash-2.05b# emerge -pv app-admin/sudo
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild R ] app-admin/sudo-1.6.8_p9 +ldap +offensive +pam -skey 0 kB |
I am curious... does anyone know why it has the offensive flag available?

The offensive flag is so that you can allow offensive insults to be displayed when the user enters an incorrect password for sudo. They apparently include insults from the hal computer in 2001 a Space Odyssey and from the Goons Show "an old UK radio show". |
