That is weird, I had it in /usr/local/sbin and unless I started it with
sudo, user properties were greyed out. I have now moved it to
/usr/local/bin and now when I start it without sudo, they aren't.

I never said it required sudo to start, but it seemed to require sudo
to get properties to work.
I am running it on the MATE desktop on top of Raspberry pi OS lite.

I take it is using something like the machine ticket, so what about when
you want to add or change something ? Lets add a user, hmm that worked.
This means that anyone who can access Openrsat can add a user, is this
secure enough ??

Same effect as Rowland once I moved the binary to /usr/local/bin
(Properties are enabled). I am on Gnome desktop/Debian 13. One more thing.
I get this message when launching the app.

root at hp-srv49:/home/sysman# OpenRSAT
Gtk-Message: 18:16:17.762: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"
