Is there a way to get notified when a user types in a invalid password when
using sudo.
example below.

I need e-mail notification when a sudo - invalid password fails

Thanks





We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System    
Administrator. It usually boils down to these two things:             
                                                                      
        #1) Respect the privacy of others.                            
        #2) Think before you type.                                    
                                                                      
Password:                                                             
Sorry, try again.                                                     
Password:                                                             
Sorry, try again.                                                     
Password:                                                             
Sorry, try again.                                                     
sudo: 3 incorrect password attempts
