Santa Checks the Sudo Report

robm@homebox ~$ sudo su Password: robm is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported. robm@homebox ~$ █ HEY — WHO DOES SUDO REPORT THESE “INCIDENTS” TO? YOU KNOW, I’VE NEVER CHECKED. NICE NAUGHTY

A stick figure at a computer discovers that the user robm is not in the sudoers file and wonders who receives the reported incidents. In the next panel, Santa checks a Naughty/Nice list, implying that sudo reports go to Santa, who uses them to judge people's behavior. The joke is a nerdy Christmas-themed reference to Unix permissions and the idea that Santa knows who has been naughty or nice.
