https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=229336 Summary: screen locked by kde screensaver cannot be unlocked by root Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE AssignedTo: kde-maintainers@suse.de ReportedBy: mhopf@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de The KDE screensaver does not allow unlocking by user root and the root password. This is especially annoying, if the logged in user doesn't have a valid pwd entry in a new environment (laptop, moved from one NIS zone to another). As the screensaver specifically points the user at killing it directly (even prints out the pid), this is no security issue at all. It's just a matter of convenience, whether root has to login into a console and to kill the process manually, or can just unlock the screen. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
