The earliest known Easter egg in software in general is one placed in the "make" command for PDP-6/PDP-10 computers sometime in October 1967–October 1968, wherein if the user attempts to create a file named "love" by typing "make love", the program responds "not war?" before proceeding.

Yup. And I don't know exactly when it was introduced, but at least on some Unix variants the 'make' command did it the other way around as well: When you type "make war", it responds with "not love ?"
