Hi Jeff,

There is a comment in common-auth that says that you
shouldn't edit it. It says it will get overwritten.
common-auth looked like the logical suse counterpart
to fedora's system-auth.
Of course /etc/X11/xorg.conf says not to edit it and I
have done so on several occasions without an issue.
Maybe using the syntax modeled in those HowTo's in
common-auth will do the trick.
I'll try that and report back to the list.

Dave
