This is a fun one. You can enable sudo to insult you when you enter an incorrect password!
Just edit sudoers using "sudo visudo" and add "insults" to the defaults and save. You will then see one of four groups of insults if you mis-type your password.
To make the change, in a terminal:
sudo visudo
then either add the line:
Defaults insults
or edit the first Defaults line and add insults to it
Defaults env_reset,insults
and save. The change takes place immediately. Here's mine:
The insults you will see are one of these four groups:
HAL insults (paraphrased) from 2001.
"Just what do you think you're doing Dave?",
"It can only be attributed to human error.",
"That's something I cannot allow to happen.",
"My mind is going. I can feel it.",
"Sorry about this, I know it's a bit silly.",
"Take a stress pill and think things over.",
"This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it.",
"I feel much better now.",
Insults from the "Goon Show."
CSOps insults (may be site dependent).
Insults from the original sudo.
