Feature changed by: Pavol Rusnak (prusnak) Feature #310005, revision 2 Title: ask for root password once per-session openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Thiago Sayao (sayao) Description: It would be nice to just ask for the root password once per-session. For security it would be valid only for the session for X minutes. When into the X minutes after the password is entered the request for authentication would just have the "Cancel" and "Continue" buttons, the password field would be hidden because the password would be still valid. When the X minutes expires, the system would as for the password again. Variations of this method are accepted, but it is annoying to have to enter the password a lot of times when configuring things or installing packages. + Discussion: + #1: Pavol Rusnak (prusnak) (2010-06-21 08:16:34) + This is what gnome-su and kdesu are for. If they are not working + correctly it is a bug. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310005
