Nah, not so much anymore.

But all this was mild compared to what I did yesterday. You know that 
notice on the console when you get sudo wrong? It says the incident 
"will be reported"

OK. But to whom? On my shell boxes it gets reported to me. And 
yesterday this is what it said:

<host> : Jun 21 11:55:25 : <user> : 1 incorrect password attempt ; 
TTY=pts/194 ; PWD=/some/path ; USER=root ; COMMAND=init 6

500 concurrent sessions on that box is routine, it's a major gateway 
server. That poor user has not recovered yet.
