Last November I setup my normal Mageia system to auto-boot into xguest so visitors at the Mageia stand at an exhibition can try out Mageia. I was surpised and shocked when I watched the update icon light up and the visitor could perform this update as xguest! This IS a risk no matter whether an update breaks a system or not. After I saw this the first thing I did was su into root and change the permission setting for updates. This is one thing where security was broken for ease of use. -- wobo
