You forgot, that installing without the root password is not the default. So root/the user has to add a user/himself. Security vs. usabiltity is a never ending theme, but that's not the most important one: Even more important than security is _choice_. If a home user does not want to type the root-password each time he is installing a program, then this is his choice. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Marcel Hilzinger Linux New Media AG Süskindstr. 4 D-81929 München Tel: +49 (89) 99 34 11 0 Fax: +49 (89) 99 34 11 99 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
