Feature changed by: Lukas Sommer (sommerluk) Feature #312048, revision 3 Title: KDE "System settings" intergration of YaST openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Lukas Sommer (sommerluk) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Integrate the YaST modules in the KDE "System settings" application. Not only with just 1 item that launched YaST, but with 1 item for each YaST module being directly visible in KDE System settings - in the right group. YaST NTP for example in the "Networking" group, YaST Boot loader in "System" ... Discussion: #1: Dean Hilkewich (deanjo13) (2011-03-22 22:15:53) Voted down here for the simple reason that KDE's control panel is geared towards user specific or desktop environment settings. YaST's modules however are geared to system wide changes which have nothing really to do specifically with KDE and are generally not settings that a restricted user should see all the time. (Sysadmins for example wouldn't be crazy about users even being able to see partitioner or bootloader modules for example). + #2: Lukas Sommer (sommerluk) (2011-03-30 09:23:56) (reply to #1) + >> KDE's control panel is geared towards user specific or desktop + environment settings Sorry, but that is not correct. KDE system + settings have yet many modules that need root rights. To name a few: - + time and date - action polices - software installation with KPackageKit + - global policy configuration - font installation which can also + install system wide fonts - K3B permissions - the yet existing simple + YaST link - KDM settings - ... No, KDE system settings are NOT geared + towards desktop specific environment settings. At least not in a + standard openSUSE installation with KDE, because all these modules are + installed by default. And all of them are visible to all users. You can + even see all the settings. But you need your root password to apply + your changes. + I think there is no problem for sysadmins. Everything that requires + root rights will need the root password. There is no security issue. + And the simple fact that users could "see" the settings should not be a + problem. With the modules that are mentioned above, it is also no + problem! -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/312048
