A fresh install of Debian 12.1 on a Lenovo Yoga 13. I have firewalld
installed, and firewall-config 1.3.0-1 to manage it. Polkit insists on
authentication, which is fine. It then has extremely short timeouts (or
something), so I have to keep re-authenticating. How do I tell it to
not be so zealous?
Hello Charles
Disclaimer: I have never tested what I say, that is just a suppsoition
From what I read, it seems that this delay is 5mn, hard-coded:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/409636/pkexec-how-do-i-set-a-custom-timeout-for-auth-admin-keep-when-writting-a-pkexe
(a look at the source confirms that this is still the case)
After reading the polkit manpage and the firewalld package list of
files, it could be possible (but I would not advise you to do it) to modify
/usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.fedoraproject.FirewallD1.desktop.policy.choice
to replace all auth_self_keep and auth_admin_keep keys by auth_self and
auth_admin keys to extend the validity period to the entire session
duration.
All these settings would be lost at the next firewalld package upgrade.
