Ahhh, thanks for reminding me why I don't use X-CDRoast ;-). > I contend the in the past, a newbie could (and would) log out, login as root > > Ok, so someone needs to add a menu option for running X-CD-Roast setup via kdesu (or consolehelper or whatever). > > I am not a customer, I have not paid money for Crossover.

Well, I would prefer better options than X-CD-Roast. k3b seems mostly good enough, and it has been patched not to do stupid things on first start. > > > > <sarcasm>What about msec, which would also prevent you from logging in > > as root?

Yes, I think in level 4 you will not get a user list.
