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.
