Description Marc Haber 2021-12-13 04:25:53 MST

Hi,

in plugins/sudoers/ins_classic.h there is "you type like i drive". Should that not be "you type like I drive", or is that part of the joke?

(see https://salsa.debian.org/sudo-team/sudo/-/blob/master/debian/patches/typo-in-classic-insults.diff)

Greetings
Marc

This is one of the original sudo insults.  I suspect it came from Evi Nemeth, who rarely used caps in emails.  I prefer to keep it the way it is as a way of remembering her.

I have removed the corresponding patch in the Debian sources. May she live long, that way.
