https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=442711 Summary: policykit asks for blind trust Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Beta4 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Security AssignedTo: security-team@suse.de ReportedBy: jw@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- This occured in KDE4, after returning from root login at text console running yast. Not sure which component this report should go to, using security to tart with. PolicyKit-kde dialogue came up, asking me to provide an authentiction for an unspecified privileged action. There is no good reason given, why a user should expose one of his passwords here. Please consider some basic prerequisites for a useful security dialogue: - specify exactly which authentication (authorization??) is being requested. E.g. 'user password', 'root password' - specify the name of the application instead of 'an application' - specify the nature of the privileged action instead of 'an action' ps and xlsclients were unable to tell me which process might be responsable for that dialogue. -- 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.
