           Summary: The online update and network manager plugins should
                    only be visible to users with admin rights
           Product: openSUSE 10.2
           Version: Final
          Platform: 32bit
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: YaST2
        AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
        ReportedBy: richard.bos@xxxxxxxxx

The 'online update' and 'network manager' plugins are currently added on
each and every regular user of the system.  However, in some cases users
should not be aware of those 2 plugins.  Actually only the people with
system administrator rights (passwd) should have those plugins (online update
and network manager) visible on their panel.
I have a computer that is used as a thin client server in a classroom and
having those 2 plugins on the pupils panels is a bit strange.  The same is
valid for the desktop of my children.

My proposal is:
- When a user is created with yast, there should be check mark that one can
enable the 2 plugins (default might be enabled, but I would prefer disabled).
The values could be written to e.g. /etc/sysconfig/something, where they should
be used by the right tools (online update and network manager).
