Description Chen Yitian 2010-12-01 07:58:14 UTC 
Description of problem:
I was trying to install some x86_64 software from fedora with gpk-application in my fedora 14. I have installed quite a lot of software then. After that, I have notice that a icon (I'm not sure whether it is new.) ：根口令 in the gnome panel system->managerment (Of course with X running). Yes, I am using a Chinese version. It is a soft link to /usr/bin/system-config-rootpassword, but when I use it, I can change the root password directory without typing the root password. I was using a normal user, not root. Therefore, I suggest that it is a urgent dangerous bug. With this bug, every user can be root illegal.
