Where are sudo incidents reported? [closed]


Nevermind, I just found the answer in the alt-text at xkcd:

Replace root with your username, in my case ryan, so the log is found with:

cat /var/spool/mail/ryan


The report is sent as an email to the root user. Many Linux distributions will automatically setup an alias for that user directing the mail to the first account created during the install process.
