shen Posted July 11, 2003 Report Share Posted July 11, 2003 When I use Gnome and I open MCC I type my password once...I close it and can reopen it without retyping my password... Now in KDE I have to always type in my password even if I tell it to remember it.. Can anyone tell my why this is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shen Posted July 11, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2003 yep already looked thru that and did all that..:) The thing is I use KDE on my desktop at home.. I'd actually not mind it saving the password in KDE just like it does in gnome..:) I am not actually wanting to get rid of that feature..lol I just get tired of constantly typing in the admin password everytime I want to do something that requires roots rights..

qnr Posted July 11, 2003 Report Share Posted July 11, 2003 Generally, your password will only be retained for a limited period. If it kept it so you didn't ever have to enter it, then there would be no reason to have a password at all :) If you want to use particular programs without having to su Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shen Posted July 11, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2003 Yeah I am looking into that..I could see it losing the password after said amount of time. Although in KDE even if you select remember password it doesn't... Would be nice when I am doing things if I could say open MCC type in root password then go open other things and not have to type in the password. I could go for a duration period style but not remembering at all is rather anoying...In Gnome it uses pam for that which is cool but something simlare in KDE would be nice..

qnr Posted July 11, 2003 Report Share Posted July 11, 2003 I haven't used KDE or Gnome for quite a while, but if I remember correctly, there are actually two different things you have to set in the KDE controls for the password saving to work. Perhaps someone that uses KDE will see this and respond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
