His tone is not acceptable so that I ignore what he spits out.

Any chance we can get these two resolved quickly?
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=749451 is no bug because it works as intended. To change the intention how something works, bug reports are not appropriate. In such cases please file a FATE request. And then you manager, please do manage it to get it actually done and not lost again in endless futile duscussions as it happened all the time in the past with exactly the same issue. I suggest to file a FATE request to have two kind of security defaults out of the box: - The "traditional" one e.g. for corporate environments where ony a dedicated admin can change system settings. (It is questionable if e.g. the timezone is a system setting or only a user-level preference.) - Another one for "single user systems" where one same person who installs the system is also its user. I would be against a security default where any person who get access to the system can change anything (i.e. where anybody could hijack an unattended computer).
