Hello people,

I was wondering why can't maemo have a authentication mechanism like in all *nix systems to perform any higher user operations ?

Case 1: Kid want to play games in n900 => so open the games and hand it over to them... they end up messing with settings of the phone

Case 2: Not so close friend wants to make a call with the phone, he ends up browsing messages and pictures ....

The platform allows operations like settings change, install/uninstall applications or any other application for that matter to work behind an authorization layer like what sudo will do in debian
