Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.4 Version: Factory Platform: All OS/Version: openSUSE 11.4 Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE4 Workspace AssignedTo: kde-maintainers@suse.de ReportedBy: rens.groenewegen@xs4all.nl QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.0.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0 local login for root on kde is disabled via file /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager since suse 11.4 Please note: I am grown up and I can decide for myself if I want to login as a normal user or not. There is a zillion people trying to tell me what I can and cannot do every day. Stay out of my PC, with my linux, and my data. and by the way, having to produce the root password 10-30 times on one evening, is not improving the security of my desktop at least have this sequence in the displaymanager restored as it used to be, so that any user can change it to yes or no from yast -> sysconfig : ## Type: yesno ## Default: yes # # Allow local access of the user root to your display manager. Note # that root can never login if DISPLAYMANAGER_SHUTDOWN is "auto" and # System/Security/Permissions/PERMISSION_SECURITY is "paranoid". # This settings currently works only with KDM. # DISPLAYMANAGER_ROOT_LOGIN_LOCAL="yes" thanks. Rens Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.try login as root, as always 2.popup from security mafia telling you, that you cannot do that. 3.get irritated, feel paternalized. Actual Results: you cant login Expected Results: i should have been logged in. in fact, it's not an enhancement, it's a restore of a good feature. If I really want to be paternalized by unknown people, or over-ego-ed CEO's in turtleneck sweaters, I will buy a Mac. or an iphone. thanks. rens -- 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.
