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

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.
You mean, he (or she) will eventually recover?
Am curious though, why the attempt for a reboot?
I was curious about that too. I don't use sudo, I'm the only geek in
the chair here, but I don't think I would want to reboot just because my
typing was off.
Given what Alan runs and the amount of people it affects, I'm surprised
it is set up that way. Question. You changed that behavior yet Alan?
