One good use case we've seen with customers is that they don't want to give out the root password because that would enable users to do anything they want like update packages.
What specific part of printer configuration should a user be able to do without authentication? Demanding that users must be able to "configure printers" without knowing the root password is too coarse grained. AFAICS the YaST2 printer module for example offers to reconfigure the firewall and to install additional packages when needed also as part of printer configuration.
Adding printers. You can get large setups with dozens or hundreds of printers.
Are you talking about setups where you plug in your shiny new USB printer and want it to just work or are you talking about network printers? I was assuming you were talking about the former but I somehow doubt that "hundreds of printers" need to be configured in that scenario ;-)
Network printers, I should have actually listed that explicitly in use case 2) as well. -JP -- JP Rosevear <jpr@novell.com> Novell, Inc. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
