HELLO, I changed the root password by using: MENU --> SYSTEM SETTING --> USERS AND GROUPS I was a local user and had to enter the root password to access it of course. Closed out of it. Now when I use MENU --> SYSTEM SETTING --> anything that should ask for my root password -- it just assumes I have privilege. So when I use the menu I can use SECUTITY SETTINGS Red Carpet, USERS AND GROUPS etc that usually ask me to verify that I have privilege. Note if I try system-config-users from a command line I am asked for the root password but if I go via menu I have free reign. I think this is not how it should be. Note, the problem persisted after a reboot, tried USERS AND GROUPS, was asked for root password, closed it, tried USERS AND GROUPS or anything again, can use it without having privilege. I also tried using ROOT PASSWORD and have the same problem, I can access and use anything using the menu now - SYNAPTIC, SECUTITY SETTINGS, USERS AND GROUPS, ROOT PASSWORD even though I am just a local user. Geez, leave my terminal for one minute and who knows what could happen. Using FC2 -- Shawn <javajunkie@xxxxxxxxxx>
