hi all !
Do you know that during install Yast *requires* you to setup user-password?
It is simply wrong. Linux as a Free system should not force people to do that.
In addition to that Yast auto-setups auto-login, which anyways negates the user-password. Plus, for single user systems, (all home PCs) having a user password won't improve security in any way.
I call to people: please make user-passwords during Yast SUSE setup non-mandatory. The main reason for that is security. It makes it more difficult to accidentally do something dumb and also makes it difficult for malware to do much.
