Component: drakfirsttime
Summary: mandrake club urpmi setup requires root
Product: drakfirsttime
Version: 0.91-9mdk
Platform: PC
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: drakfirsttime
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
drakfirsttime-0.91-14mdk
I synchronized with the cooker mirrors yesterday, created a new user, logged
into X as that user and went through the drakfirsttime menus.
I was offered to enter my mandrakeclub information, but was also told that I
need to log in as root in order for that information to be added to my urpmi setup.
Fair enough, only root can modify the urpmi setup, but:
1) We don't want to encourage users to log into X as root. We can, however,
prompt them for the root password.
2) With mdkkdm, which is the default dm now, there is no way for users to log
into X as root!
In other words, in the default setup, the mandrakeclub registration dialog
cannot achieve its goal due to lack of root priviledges!
