--- Comment #28 from Linus Torvalds
In any case feel free to adjust polkit privileges on your systems to suite your individual needs. I'm sure there are more you wish to change (e.g. to allow installing updates).
Christ. You're a distribution. Your *ONLY*GOAL*IN*LIFE* should be to make something that works. If you say "We ship shit, so you need to be an expert and fix it up in order for it to be usable", you have failed at your job. And seriously, that is exactly what you said. OpenSUSE 12.1 network configuration *IS*NOT*USABLE* in real life as-is. Don't tell people to edit their polkit privileges to individual needs. Make a usable system, or at least expose a big and visible button saying "make this system usable". As it is, the only people who can fix it are people who know more than the average bear. That's a disaster. This is not about "security issues". A unusable system is always secure, because nobody *cares*. It's crap. It is, as somebody commented elsewhere, like making everybody have their shell be "/bin/false". That's really secure, but since it means that people can't get any actual work done, who the hell cares? That kind of "security" isn't security, it's just stupidity. -- 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.
