Hi guys,

First, sorry for my broken english. 


This is from Dailydave. Have a look at this bug report from RedHat (Fedora12). Hilarious! 

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=534047

"Bug 534047 -  All users get to install software on a machine they do not have the root password to"

All these years working to have a standard and controlled environment. Now all this is bs and everybody
should be able to install whatever they want in a desktop environment because the packages are signed and are trusted 
(secure).


"PackageKit allows you to install signed content from signed repositories
without a password by default. It only asks you to authenticate if anything is
unsigned or the signatures are wrong. "

Fail!

Regards,

Xavier Garcia
