In corporate environments where an admin maintains the workstations, said admins can easily increase whatever security levels she desires to increase. A vanilla openSUSE installation is not exactly most common in such environments. It's a lot more common, as we see every day, in those cases Linus and me are concerned about. (In fact, a couple of SUSE employees contacted me in the last 24 hours indicating "Yes, I do have the root password, but this really has annoyed me all the time.") > Of course long ago I had aready filed a matching FATE request > https://features.opensuse.org/307745 > but nobody - in particular nobody of the management - cares. I am sorry your request did not get picked up for openSUSE. As far as all SUSE products go, indeed I am (Mr. Product) Management. openSUSE is not a SUSE product, though, and there I am just a lowly contributor like everyone else. :-) With a bit of influence, admittedly, in suggesting what SUSE engineering teams contribute to openSUSE, but not in the sense of classic (product) management.
