Hi Todd,

Long time user of sudo, and glad it's such wide use.  I used to download source, compile and install, but policy here now where I work is to install new software and updates on the Unix/Linux boxen by using package managers.

One of my favorite things about sudo is the "insults".  In the past, I've added home-grown and insider joke insults to the appropriate files before compiling.  Having to install from a package kinda keeps me from doing that.

Soooo, long way around, I was wondering if, in a future release, the "insults" could be separated from the executable, and maintained in a text file that can be edited and added to or subtracted from?  The users here get quite a kick out of the insults when they screw up their password.  ;-)

Thanks,
Mark
