Just wondering if anyone else has encountered this issue. I've installed Mandriva 2008.1 RC2 3 or 4 times now (various reasons!) & each time entering the password for 'root'. Once i'm in my user account & need to use an application that requires root priviliges I have not been prompted for a password! After doing a 'passwd root' all was well... a bug or is it just me?

Sometimes being a member of the group wheel, means that you won't get prompted for password access to root. Although not always the case across different distros.
