Priority Requester: Mandatory openSUSE-11.3: Evaluation Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Piotrek Juzwiak (benderbendingrodriguez) Description: As some people may not understand the linux operating system principles they often log in as root which in some cases may be disastrous. I propose to disable logging as root by default, the user can always obtain root privileges by invoking su or su -. If there would be some advanced users that really need to log in as root then they will know how to "unlock" that. If i'm correct it's just a matter of adjusting some scripts right? + Discussion: + #1: Michael Löffler (michl19) (2010-01-18 13:40:09) + I don't see that an issue for openSUSE. At least I never heard issus + about that. So I tend to reject that one. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307392
