Description Christian Trippe 2011-02-13 19:21:30 UTC 
Version:           2.0 (using KDE 4.6.0) 
OS:                Linux

When I go into System Settings the System Cron options are all greyed out i.e. unavailable. In KDE 4.4 it prompted for the root password which is as it should be imho.

This was initially reported at https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=645577


Reproducible: Always




OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.37-6-default
Compiler: gcc

I can confirm that this issue is still present. When I open KDE's "Task Scheduler" via the application launcher, the "system cron" tab is all grayed out and there is no prescription to the user for how to "un-gray" it.
