Re: [suse-security] Security Boot X server Issues

      Hi Carlos,

Thanks for the help.  I've already checked where you suggested, the settings 
are set to alow the ************* and for "any" user to shutdown.  I'm 
thinking there is a broken sym link or something some where.

Thanks,
Rodney

Several strange problems have recently appeared when booting my SuSE 9.0
system. The first and most strange is that when typing my password the
"*******" no longer appear in the password box, it just remains blank 
and
Look into the Kde Control Centre in Privacy and Security, (password and 
user
account)
...
the cursor does not move. After pulling my hair out for several hours, I
realized that if I typed the password in the box anyway and clicked OK
everything booted as normal. I can live with this quirk (I'm sure its 
some
new security feature), but where did It come from and how can I change 
it
back so my ******** appear as I type. Additionally, I can no longer shut
down my system directly from a user logon session. I can only log off 
and
Look into the Kde control centre, in System Administration -> Access
Administration (shutdown)
