Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 71031
pam timestamp dialog box needs rewording
Last modified: 2015-01-07 18:58:50 EST
When I click on the unlocked lock panel icon to enter my root password and remember authentication, it say "Launch system-wide configuration tools without login." The wording is misleading. You have to be logged in, but you don't have to enter your root password over and over again. It should say: "Remember root authentication for system-wide configuration tools." or something similar. Ideally, it would also allow you to specify how long to remember authentication. Also, the prompt should say "Enter root password:" instead of "Password for root."
jrb - isn't this fixed now? (I think it was based on what I saw when you were working on this the other night)
The current text is "Launch system-wide configuration tools without a password.", mostly due lack of better ideas. Alternate text would be gladly accepted, subject to time constraints (for translation).
I have pam-0.75-40 and usermode-1.58-2, but the text says "Launch system-wide configuration tools without login." "without a password" is more correct. "Password for root" still needs to be changed to "Enter root password:"
Please try 1.59-1, where we've nuked that portion of pam-panel-icon from orbit.
Yep, clicking on the unlocked icon does nothing now.
The component should be usermode.
Excellent. Closing.
