Wouldn't it be nice to have a single, secure, system-wide mechanism to provide access control ? Future versions of the package & patch management hopefully can make use of such a system.
Sounds much better ;-) (I also like Marcus' idea about using sudo and/or kdesu.) For the records: I'd like to have the following permission levels in the package management: a) check for updates ("suse-watcher" style) b) install updates (including uninstalling obsolete and installing new requirements from existing installation sources) c) install / remove any package from existing installation sources The problem with zen-updater is that it currently needs b) and c), therefore people can easily add and remove other packages with zen-installer/-remover even if the admin isn't aware of this.
