Find out which account disabled UAC

view full story
linux-howto

http://serverfault.com – Someone or something recently disabled UAC on a critical server and it is now asking for a reboot (which can not happen). Is there an event in the logs that will tell me which account disabled this? And can I re-enable it without rebooting to get rid of the 'reboot' prompt? Thanks. (HowTos)

In Linux and other UNIX-like computer operating systems, the root account is the administrator account. A user with root privileges can perform many tasks that a standard user account cannot. In current editions of Fedora 17, the idea of a disabled root account is a foreign one. But come Fedora 18, the next stable release, the root account will be disabled by default.
