Hello, in previous versions of openSUSE with KDE4 I was used to press Alt+F2 and type yast to launch YaST2. System asked for root password and I could work there as root. But when I do it now I, I'm not asked for password and YaST2 is launched without root privileges. And there is no way to authenticate as root. After pressing of Alt+F2 I have to type "kdesu yast2", which is too long. :-) Is this bug or feature? IMHO, YaST2 should ask for password during startup or there should by way to authenticate as root in the YaST. Best regards, Vojtěch Zeisek
I think the first time you start YaST, a password dialog appears and there is a check box to remember password. I think the password is saved so that you don't have to reenter the password for the session, or a certain time frame (I'm not sure which it is). Being Linux, I'm sure there is a way to customize the behavior - although I personally have not had the need to do so.
