It doesn't really tell me much and won't change the problem that getting users used to enter the root password everywhere decreases security. What's the point of it? I'm logged in as root in one of the tmux windows and when I need to do something as root, I just do it in there. It reminds me of the question of the installer if I want to give the ordinary user administrative permissions. If I did that, I couldn't use that account for anything else but such administrative things just like roots account and there isn't any point in having it. That feature should be removed along with polkit to increase security. -- Fedora 17 -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
