I propose to allow admins to change settings without to enter their password. Think about the reason the user is asked for a password. It's not really to protect the system from evil local users, because you always lock your desktop before you go away. The real reason is that applications want to verify that the user wants to modify a setting, and not a possible evil user-space software. There should be a way to verify this without the need for the user to enter a password.
As a workaround you can put this file as "admin.pkla" into "/var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d", if you don't care about evil user-space software: [AdminPermissions] Identity=unix-group:admin Action=* ResultAny=no ResultInactive=no ResultActive=yes _______________________________________________ polkit-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/polkit-devel
