[Bug 336204] New: Yast2 is broken
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=336204 Summary: Yast2 is broken Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: maximilian_bianco@yahoo.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: Customer I have done this on two machines so far.....go into administrator settings and get prompted for a password....enter whatever i want and bam i'm in. I first noticed it at work today. I mess around with alot of hardware and i have been installing different distros on some old and not so old boxes. Anyway i usually use one or two variations on one or two passwords for these machines since it's largely for testing purposes. Today i was playing with samba configuration and went into system administration applet and couldn't quite remember which password i had used but i got lucky on the first try or so i thought... a little while later i fired up a superuser terminal and the password i had used earlier was rejected...thought i had mistyped and tried again 3 or 4 times just to be sure and rejected! I went back to yast and got right in...so then i tried some gibberish and presto i was into yast. I couldn't believe it. I tried to submit a bug report but something went awry and i could not. In any case i went home and tried this here on a totally different machine with a different setup and what do you know ....gibberish lets me log in to yast.....not into the terminal....this is seriously f**ked up!! what's even stranger after a while it goes back to working the way it should.....both times i noticed this phenomena was right after updates. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
