Great news!
I hope package installation by non root users are under consideration?
If so, can that be made on a rules basis so that ie. my daughter can
update the packages already installed but not add new? Or add packages
from one pattern but not others?
A greedy thanks from
Birger :-)

Hi all!
I'd like to inform you about a new feature in Yast in openSUSE-11.1-Alpha1.
The feature allows you to configure role based access to yast. The current implementation is limited only to some yast functionality (the SCR part), e.g. it doesn't allow to install packages by a non-root user.
WARNING: the DBus support is still in development state, it may be buggy or whatever else... I ask the brave people here to give it a try.
See http://en.opensuse.org/YaST/DBus_Integration for more details. There is an example how to enable "time zone change" task for a non-root user.
If you find any problem with the DBus integration report it to bugzilla.novell.com and assign the bug to me. Do not forget to attach also the non-root log file (described in the link above).
