:) yep, I've run SuSE since 7.0-Pro, when Mandrake begin to implode. On
openSuSE you can also configure /etc/pam.d/su to allow member of the wheel
group to su without a password -- that comes in hand for me (since I'm the
only member of wheel) You can add:
auth sufficient pam_rootok.so
auth sufficient pam_wheel.so trust use_uid
Take effect immediately (presuming you are a member of wheel -- which in
15.0 or 15.1 opensuse no longer creates by default unless a server install
is selected -- just create it manually, and I gave it the traditional GID
of 10, but in 15.0 it has a random GID.
I think that I'll try this. What, then, (if anything) should I put in the
Command field of my menu entries for the YaST components? The original
Trinity install had some sort of xdg prefix, which I removed, adding Run as a
Different User (root) instead.
