User [EMAIL PROTECTED] added comment https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=406642#c3 --- Comment #3 from Robert Jordan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 2008-07-07 06:04:27 MDT --- Unix does not have APIs which allow to login by name & password. You'd have to resort to "sudo", but even that is not always feasible, e.g. current user might not be a sudoer or there might by no configured password authentication at all (smartcards, etc.). BTW, Unix programs don't need an auto-update feature because this is usually performed by the packaging system. You should develop a simple update notification feature that instructs to user to update using the system packaging system. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
