I need to reconfigure yast2 to only show specific modules once the system is configured for a non root user.
I assume that you're using the GTK flavor, because the Qt flavor DOES support it, but in a different way (showing modules that are useful without root and without sudo)
OR give the user sudo access to yast2 and make the following the only available modules.
lan dns routing timezone
I was under the impresion the this can be done by editing /etc/YaST2/control.xml but I have had no luck. Any sugestions or advice would be welcome. Since I can't seem to find any documentation on modifing the yast2 configuration search result always come up with using yast to configure X.
No, /etc/YaST2/control.xml mostly controls what is done during the installation workflow. You can add the specific commands to /etc/sudoers (and use "yast2 sudo" for that) /sbin/yast2 lan /sbin/yast2 dns ... BTW we have started to make things like this being configurable with PolicyKit, in WebYaST, which is however still rather young. -- Martin Vidner, YaST developer http://en.opensuse.org/User:Mvidner Kuracke oddeleni v restauraci je jako fekalni oddeleni v bazenu
