I was just practicing how to set the sudo command on Red Hat Linux and found out how cool and funny the Linux coders are... unlike the Microsoft guys who are very sophisticated and pretend to be more mechanic than human...
Alrite so for those of you who do not know what a sudo command is, a sudo command gives a normal user the privileges of a root (Administrator) to certain files or folders. Obviously after the root assigns the privileges to the normal user. So as I was trying out this example of logging in as a normal user and trying to access a folder using the sudo command, this is what message is displayed as an introduction before I access the private folder... and I couldn't resist but laugh about it and just admire the sense of humor what the Linux guys share.
We trust you have recieved the usual lecture from the local System Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:
#1) Respect the privacy of others.
#2) Think before you type.
#3) With great power comes great responsibility.

:) that's funny! I like people with a sense of humour
hehe cool!
but wat if after gaining access the user misuses his privilege??:O
Well the root decides how much of the privileges can the user access... ;)
The root has total access on the machine... unlike in Windows where anyone can fiddle with the system files and have the machine crash often...
wat is it tat u have against windows!!??:P...its so much easier to use!
That's a common misconception... that Windows is easy... people feel its easy cos they have been working on it since ages... and they are too lazy to learn something new.. he he...
Besides MS is ripping the world... ask any of your friends who works in the IT dept... they will have a lot to tell u.. :D
yeah whatever!:P
