Basically emergency.target and rescue.target have a hard requirement on root, and there aren't enough services present to authenticate some other user (I guess?). And on Workstation, it was long ago decided to not require setting up a root user at install time *if* an (admin) user were setup. And that was followed up more recently by eliminating the install time user setup entirely, on Workstation edition. So...it's a difficult problem to solve. Mayyyybee systemd-homed is in a position to solve this by having early enough authentication capability by rescue.target time that any admin user can login? -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
