From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

OP is not in the sudoers file.

This incident will be reported.

This was scary to me as a young guy learning Linux 30 years ago. Turns out it's not reporting to anyone. :)

It in fact is reportet to the system admin. In that case you.

It's in a journalctl log (i think location is depending on distro)

Maybe if you have a local mail server set up on the system? Otherwise no way to report. :)

Otherwise it goes to your /var/mail I believe. Sadly they merged commit lately that removes this message

Yeah. Big sad.

It just printed into the system logs on my arch install(although this was a few installs ago... could've changed)

Linus Torvalds gets those reports and puts you on the naughty list

[–] Dablin@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

Now that's a grumpy Santa I can believe in.

[–] LeFantome@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago

It reports it to you ( the system admin )

[–] circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah. I think it's a holdover from earlier *NIX.
