Where did you find it? Maybe in the manpage of an older version.

There should be a sudo directory in /var/run. In any case, it seems like adding lecture never to /etc/sudoers would fix the symptoms of your problem.

sudo warning
Hi, I used to get the following sudo warning on the first time I sudo, but for one box, I kept getting it: $ sudo su - We trust you have received 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. How can I disable the sudo warning? thanks -- Tong (remove underscore(s) to reply) http://xpt.sourceforge.net/techdocs/ http://xpt.sourceforge.net/tools/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

From the sudoers manpage, lecture This option controls when a short lecture will be printed along with the password prompt. It has the following possible values: always Always lecture the user. never Never lecture the user. onceOnly lecture the user the first time they run sudo. If no value is specified, a value of once is implied. Negating the option results in a value of never being used. Looks like you have set the lecture option in your sudoers file.

No I don't. % grep lecture /etc/sudoers || echo no found no found But thanks to your points, I think I've found the reason. onceOnly lecture the user the first time they run sudo. If no value is specified, a value of once is implied. Sudo must have stored the weather-first-time value under one of the following places: $ grep ram /etc/fstab /dev/ram1 /var/runramfs defaults,rw,auto,dev0 0 /dev/ram2 /var/state ramfs defaults,rw,auto,dev0 0 /dev/ram3 /var/lock ramfs defaults,rw,auto,dev0 0 /dev/ram4 /var/accountramfs defaults,rw,auto,dev0 0 /dev/ram5 /var/logramfs defaults,rw,auto,dev0 0 /dev/ram6 /var/lib/gdmramfs defaults,rw,auto,dev0 0 #/dev/ram7 /var/tmpramfs defaults,rw,auto,dev0 0 /dev/ram/tmpramfs defaults,rw,auto,dev0 0 That might explain why I kept getting the sudo warning (after each reboot).
