Don't take my word for it. Take a look at /etc/polkit-1/localauthority.conf.d. 50-localauthority.conf disables authorization with the root password, while 60-desktop-policy.conf authorizes users in the "wheel" group. You can't get PolicyKit auth with the root pw without deleting/overriding these two files. The former is shipped in the polkit package while the latter is shipped in the polkit-desktop-policy package brought in by most Fedora DEs. I just tested, and my sudo-enabled account requests my own password when running "pkexec echo foo" and fails with the root password, while a vanilla account on my system fails completely. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
