After updating to RC1 I can see that "remember password" is no more default when starting YaST. This is good, thank you :)
Since I haven't made any fresh installs of RC1 I need to ask: Is same password for root still default in a fresh installation?
YES, it is :-( .
Ciao.
Actually I chose my words a bit wrong. Remembering password is still default, but now when you you choose not to, it will stay unticked. In beta3 it always appeared ticked each time you started YaST. (KDE4)
Alright, just to make sure that we are talking about the same thing.
I took your question (above, the one I quoted) to mean that when during installation one is asked for a password as a USER but there is also the tick box which asks if you want to use the SAME password for Root. During installation this box is TICKED so that whatever password one chooses as a USER is then automatically used as the ROOT's password. Having taken your question to mean this then the answer is YES: whatever password you choose as a user will be used as the password for root UNLESS you disallow this by unticking the box.
Don't forget, I PRUNED most of your original posting and only responded to the question I mention above. I've got this quite clear: During the initial installation you are defaulted to accept the same password for root which you can change by not accepting the default.
Correct.
If you do disagree and choose different password for root you are defaulted to have it remembered when you open YaST system tools. If you still deny, remembering won't be default anymore in RC1. It was in beta3.
When you go to YaST2, or similar inner sanctum places, you are asked for the root password. As in 10.3, the Remember Password is ticked. You get nowhere unless you type in the root password. I did notice that at some point the Remember Password is *NOT* ticked (the box is blanked) but in the end this has nothing to do with anything because you still have to type in the root's password. NOW, I am saying this ONLY BECAUSE I have never accepted the proposition of using the same password for the USER for ROOT and so have not allowed this during the installation process. I do NOT know, therefore, what happens IF I did allow the same user password to be used for root during the installation process and what effect this would have on what happens when one tried to use YaST (and whatever).
