Root Rage

What is Root Rage?


1.

1) Spontaneous and aggressive use (or threats to use) UNIX administration power to punish users with lesser privileges.

A characteristic of most Unix System Administrators.

"I got another email from our unix sysadmin threatening to pull me from the sudoers list. He must be having another root rage day"
