Yikes! When was it decided that non-root users get to play root?

This is horrible!
Just to elaborate:
A local user is allowed to install software on the machine without
being prompted for the root password.
This is a recipe for disaster in my opinion.
So much for granting shell access on my servers. . .
You have PackageKit installed on servers? really?
-sv
I do if it's in the default DVD install, or was pulled in in an
upgrade. I've never intentionally installed it, and yes I do. Never
imagined it would be a problem. I'll remove it.
Maybe you and I have a different concept of 'Servers'. But I tend to
install @core only and then remove items whenever I can for a server.
If it is a bad day I'll install X b/c something requires it but for
servers I try to avoid anything beside the barest minimal I can have.
-sv
That's generally my MO as well. Sometime, however, as I have mostly
legacy hardware, some machines need to perform multiple functions.
Really, though sometimes it's nice to tunnel a GUI through SSH, if I
want to browse the repo that way. Usually yum search, etc is enough.
Sometimes it's not, quite.
