Description Christian Boltz 2008-11-06 19:05:07 UTC
yast2 users has a nice filter to display only system or only local users.

At startup, the module defaults to filter setting "user defined" ("Benutzerdefiniert" in german), and "user defined" is set to just show all local users. But this is not clear to the user unless he checks for the settings.

The better solution would be to startup with the "local users" filter active. The result would be the same, but it would be obvious for the user.

(If you are worried what I'm talking about, check the attached screenshot for the highlighted section.)

Well, I actually think the current behavior is correct as was defined some years ago. Because the result is the same, it does not hurt. And once user defines custom settings different from current one, it is good for him to default to it.
