Harry,
Icon on the desktop is invoking:

gksu packagemanager

whoops... I missed that... thanks

Which de facto is calling pfexec.

So it looks like your privilages are broken. Here is what I have for
my user migi:

# cat /etc/user_attr | grep migi
migi::::profiles=Primary Administrator;roles=root

The same command for me shows a massive list, including  `Software
Installation'. Looks like I should be up for about anything

I'd probably want to go with what you have eh?

I would warn strongly against doing that. "Primary Administrator" basically means root. NOT something you want to have associated with your local user.

The fact that OpenSolaris assigns the "Primary Administrator" role is a serious security problem. The first thing I do after installing OpenSolaris is to remove this role from the user created by the installer.


Oops! substitute "profile" for "role" in the above paragraph.
