Next step is to remove users/groups/sudo from Linux/UNIX entirely. I'm one person using the computer, running software I trust. I don't need it.
So ...puppy Linux?

I haven't used journalctl in a while - do you mind explaining how it works with a binary path? Does it report all system logging that came from that executable, as if it were a service file?
The systemd journal logs not only raw strings and priorities (like legacy syslog), but a large number of metadata fields for each message. One of these fields is the name of the executable which generated the message. The command journalctl /bin/su can, to avoid ambiguity, also be written as journalctl _EXE=/bin/su See systemd.journal-fields(7) for more information: https://manpages.debian.org/stable/systemd/systemd.…
wow! finally something neat from journald

I once entered 'sudo echo hi" or something similar on a large HPCC and received an email back from a sysadmin that just said "hello".
There's the talk command on Unix. We used to do a 'who' to find out who're on the system and 'talk' to them.
That was such a mind blowing experience coming from a DOS background. It would split your terminal horizontally and you could see each other type in real time.
Before the days of SMS, and even before the days of instant messengers like ICQ and AIM, I taught the split-screen `talk` command to my girlfriend so we could chat while I was working. We've been married for 20 years now.

#166I was always disappointed it never summoned some grumpy graybeard unix admin from a dark server room basement to give me a chiding lecture.
Can’t believe nobody has reposted this yet:

#167So no one checks these reports? No wonder we've had so many high profile breaches. Maybe this is what all those layoffs are about.
Not true - the reports are checked. See https://xkcd.com/838
(Sorry for posting this twice. It was just too relevant here)

#168I used to mix up terminal windows, and on some occasions tried to call a sudo command on university clusters. But I always followed it up with a sudo echo „sorry wrong terminal“.

#169As it happens - "The warning was restored in a slightly altered form in 9757d29" ( https://github.com/sudo-project/sudo/commit/9757d29a24ac1872... ) - Millert.
This is great! Now when I break into a system I can quickly verify if they've got this aspect of sudo logging setup or not! Only 1/2 /s
Checking if the alarm is set by seeing if it activates seems like it's not particularly useful.

#170Stressful message to see back when I was a clueless child. I'm glad its getting removed.
I had a similar reaction to Windows 95's "An illegal operation has occurred." I remember wondering whether the police were on their way.
Who is General Protection, and why is he at fault for my programs crashing?
