[opensuse] 10.3 openSUSE updater
I have performed fresh installs on my laptop and my desktop, preserving home, and have the following happening. On my laptop when instructing the updater to install the update it goes and does this without asking for the root password but on the desktop I am required to provide the password. Is there a setting somewhere for this I have accidentally set on the laptop? I'm sure others in the corporate world wouldn't want this to happen without being able to restore the defaults. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

This will happen if you configured "sudo" for your desktop user to just go to root. opensuse updater KDE uses kdesu , which in turn uses sudo. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Look in the security section, the same place you can add users.
