This is absolutely unbelievable and at the same time totally unacceptable. To
make a root security change without any feedback to the openSUSE user community
is beyond comprehension and escapes all logic! It would appear (at least to the
"outsider") that a good many persons in R&D are taking leave of their senses!
Comment #13 belongs to me and I discovered this problem while spending a
considerable amount of time trying to get into CUPS (which btw, I still can
not) by doing password changes in YaST. Seems like a case of "playing God" to
me just so that some people can get off on the fact that they have the power to
make a change of this magnitude with no warning to the user whatsoever!
Hey, you couldn't even take the few minutes required to make a change to the
password authentication dialog and update the title bar from "KDE su" to "KDE
sudo". What a pity. Guess we had to use those precious minutes stuffing useless
KDE4 previews into the 10.3 DVD iso.
Seems to me that someone high up on the food chain at Novell/SUSE needs to
start paying attention to the feedback you are getting from your user
community. Especially where bugs like this one are concerned.
10.3 in my estimation is by far the best yet (have been "here" since 9.1) but
it appears that words like "quality", "stability", "usability" and
"functionality" are quickly disappearing from the R&D dictionary.
Now with respect to Mr. Kulow's sordid statement in comment #5; mind reading is
not free Mr. Kulow. Go figure!
