This section details changes that affect Fedora graphical desktop users.
-
- === Graphical Root Login Disabled ===
-
- This release disables login for the `root` user via the GNOME Display Manager. The best
practice for security is to run individual programs with root privileges, rather than
login directly as `root`. Administration tools in Fedora are gradually migrating to using
[
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeaturePolicyKit PolicyKit], which makes graphical
login as `root` both unnecessary and strongly discouraged.
-
- FIXME: Has KDM root login been disabled? How about other display managers?
=== GNOME ===
