Quote:root is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.
I've always wondered, why root is added by default to the sudoers file?

Also:
Quote:sudoers can log both successful and unsuccessful attempts (as well as errors) to
syslog(3), a log file, or both. By default, sudoers will log via syslog(3) but
this is changeable via the syslog and logfile Defaults setting
And in auth.log
Code:
Jul  3 12:07:40 computer sudo:     root : user NOT in sudoers ; TTY=pts/30 ; PWD=/home/patrick ; USER=root ; COMMAND=t

It's your syslog implementation (for me here it's rsyslog) configuration that is forwarding it by email, it might not be default on all systems.
