Martin, Something else that concerns me about this bug is that after I was removed from 'admin' and did not have had admin rights I was able to change root's password via the User/groups management. I had to do this to be able to su to root so I could add myself back to 'admin'. At the time figured I'd try it since it was easier than booting the Live CD. However I should not be allowed to change root's password, even if I am an admin user.
I can write this up as a separate bug. thanks, David Green On 10/10/06, Martin Pitt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Please see bug 64698 comment; gnome-system-tools should totally not > touch the passwords and properties of *all* users in the system, just > the one that was actually modified.
