Hi,
I'm running RH9 with Gnome.
I found a security breach in GDM:
in the login screen, choose failsafe session.
login with your username
activate one of the system configuration application (like redhat-config-users).


I would expect to enter the root password for that, but it never happened. A regular user can change the users on the machine without knowing the root password.

I tried to repeat this scenario, but this time I was asked for the root password. (I tried this more than once.)

Has anyone encountered this before?

David.
