Small correction - I'm using KDE 4.1 (http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Factory:/Desktop/openSUSE_11.0/) Even if you try again immediatelly? You are right. Password persists if I try open YaST2 immediately. It seems there is on the time based limitation. i can confirm similar experience and for KDE 3.5.9 also :-( I guess this is only caused by the lowering the kdesu timeout to 5 minutes that was supposed to match sudo. Additionally it seems kdesu remembers the password only per-command, not for all following commands. Any better idea than returning the timeout back to 2 hours? What about KDE Wallet? we don't want to store the users or root's password anywhere ever on disk - not even in kwallet. Sounds remembering password for longer time than 5min is a WONTFIX then. Reopening, the password will not be stored in the wallet, but the timeout can be raised back. Changed timeout back to 2 hours for 11.1. May be it to late but could be possible to replace in this dialogue check box "Remember password" with selection list labelled Remember password with choices like: none to end of session for XX minutes XX could be 120 as default and user can rewrite it by numeric value. Timeout to 2 hours for 11.1 also for KDE 3? May be this feature configurable? kwriteconfig --file kdesurc --group Passwords --key Timeout <seconds> *** Bug 415426 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** (In reply to comment #15 from Lubos Lunak) > kwriteconfig --file kdesurc --group Passwords --key Timeout <seconds> > Very well, but it should be more accessible to users as it seems undocumented feauture too. |
