This PR adds a commented
Defaults !pam_silent
and an explanatory sentence to the defaultsudoers
file.Since it is possible that some users might be running into
pam_faillock
leading to inexplicably failing login attemps with no explanatory output (#216), making this option easily accessible could help these users fix their issue or rule out one problem more quickly without having to dig into the sudoers man page.
