- From my point of view as user/admin, I would not use it this way, I don't like having to enter the password that often. I thought I remembered there being a timeout option with sudo where you could configure it to let you continue running "root tasks" for the next 'X' minutes and it wouldn't ask you for your password again until the time expired.
Correct.
Seems like that would solve the issue of having to re-enter passwords but allow entering such a password only when actually needed.
But when I use a YaST module it can be minutes or hours before I click on another.
Mmmm, would not be "that often" but "that many" :-)
Entering password every half an hour/an hour doesn't sound that bad, with __correctly__ configured polkit/sudoers user should have sudo-like behaviour (auth for x time) with desktop apps, as they have with cli apps ;) LCP [Stasiek] https://lcp.world -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
