If i need apps in rootmodus, i start them up. That is why it struck me that yast2 comes without pw requester sometimes, it allways asked for it as long as i can remember.. At first my 32 bit system had it, and now my 64 bit also, since the last update.

A passwordrequester should appear before the config screen appears, but if i once filled in my rootpw, am finished, close yast2, but open it after some time, it opens without asking for rootpw again.

You can run yast GUI from both command line (xterm) and a GUI menu (the KDE application launcher). So i _guess_ you run yast from the KDE launcher, is that right? In that case, yast logs would help. Please try to reproduce it and attach yast logs right after it happens. Also note that the dialog for entering root password has a checkbox saying 'Remember password'. Have you checked that before? -- 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.

The wrench with the yellow handle on the taskbar i use since in kde4.1 it is not yet very clear to me how to set a keyboard shortcut...

...

In that case, yast logs would help. Please try to reproduce it and attach yast logs right after it happens.

I just updated to OS: Linux 2.6.27.5-2-default x86_64 Huidige gebruiker: oddball@AMD64x2-sfn1 Systeem: openSUSE 11.1 Beta 5.1 (x86_64) KDE: 4.1.3 (KDE 4.1.3) "release 2.1"

...

Also note that the dialog for entering root password has a checkbox saying 'Remember password'. Have you checked that before?

No i never check that box, as i noticed earlier (since suse 9.2) that it won't remember it, and i think it is not sane or safe if it would. I don't mind typing my pw to get root, in fact. i am so used to it, that if i am not asked i am surprised;) -- 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.

Nice but this is not what i was asking for :O) I asked you to reproduce the problem and attach yast logs right after it happens. You neither did say whether you reproduced it nor you attached the logs (see http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs/YaST if you don't know which logs to attach). -- 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.

Indeed, it is not. But what i was trying to say is, if it still persists;) As soon as it happens again, i'll attach the logs. I have an older log available, but i don't know if it meets your expectations, i'll attach it anyhow. -- 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.

The problem must be somewhere in the sudo system or kdesu (the graphical root password dialog). If it happens again, please try to open an xterm and call 'kdesu yast2' (or any other application (except a virus :O)) as user, and tell us whether that asked for password or not. -- 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.
