I think there's a security leak in F7. I found out the next thing:
Look at this situation:
There are 2 accounts on a computer, call them A and B. Each account has
it's own different password.
Person A starts up the computer and logs in. But at a certain point
person B wants to use his account for 5 minutes. So he uses the Fast
User Switch. As this happens person A's account stays active. But…
person B can switch back to person A's account without entering a
password! So if person A is gone for a while, person B can steal his
documents, delete files, …
Not a bug. Not a security problem. I've tested FUSA on Gnome and it
works beautifully. Locks by default, doesn't lock when I disable it, as
it should not. However KDE (Switch User) does not honor the locking
setting established by Gnome.
FUSA may well be FC7's best feature. I use many accounts
simultaneously. FUSA and VNC are just a dream. I would be beside
myself if Fedora slowed down FUSA by forcing me to use a false sense of
security on my own computer.
