Many times in the last few hours YAST and other processes have demanded my root p/w. To add insult to injury, when one checks the box "remember the P/W" or words to that effect, the sys again and again asks for the P/W. Within YAST there is NO OPTION to remember the P/W. Once SUSE has reminded the user about security, shouldn't they leave us to our own follies? We ought to be allowed to "turn off" the nanny mode.

KDE Control Center, Security & Privacy, Passwords, set a very long timeout.
