Feature changed by: Jan Engelhardt (jengelh) Feature #307392, revision 6 Title: Disable logging as root by default openSUSE-11.2: Rejected by Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) reject date: 2009-08-13 17:17:24 reject reason: After 11.2 feature deadline. Priority Requester: Mandatory openSUSE-11.3: Evaluation Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Piotrek Juzwiak (benderbendingrodriguez) Description: As some people may not understand the linux operating system principles they often log in as root which in some cases may be disastrous. I propose to disable logging as root by default, the user can always obtain root privileges by invoking su or su -. If there would be some advanced users that really need to log in as root then they will know how to "unlock" that. If i'm correct it's just a matter of adjusting some scripts right? Discussion: #1: Michael Löffler (michl19) (2010-01-18 13:40:09) I don't see that an issue for openSUSE. At least I never heard issus about that. So I tend to reject that one. #2: Michal Marek (michal-m) (2010-01-18 14:18:48) At least on the text console, root login should be possible. + #3: Jan Engelhardt (jengelh) (2010-01-19 02:05:07) + If there is destructive potential, it will unfold even without a root + account. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307392
