And not the next time. There is this "keep_always". > You have a valid security concern, but expressing it in a riddle -- does it not smack a bit of "security by obscurity"? It does not help anyone, though it seems to gain you some attention, at least. Reading your initial posts, until you gave us specifics, it sounded as if you said "these actions do not need authentication!" rather than "your authorizations persist forever by default". The former is a security hole, the latter is not as bad -- it's a bad default, arguably. I actually like OS X's control panel. It tells you, when viewing any settings, which action is currently unlocked (authorized) and which ones are not. We have System->Prefs->System->Auths in GNOME (and the equivalent in KDE), but that's another place to look, it's not as intuitive. -- miʃel salim • http://hircus.jaiku.com/ IUCS • msalim@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora • salimma@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx MacPorts • hircus@xxxxxxxxxxxx -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
