While this is the Solution to the actual Problem, why does the manpage say
not to do it? As I remember the manpage says that the "noauth" would lead
to incompatibilities in future versions of diald. Is this Information
still correct?

This brings me to another Problem, the Information that Newbies get.
There are many manpages and other pieces of documentation that contain
information that is no longer correct. Is there anyone updating the
documentation? Or this only a Problem with Packages that have no
maintainer?
