There are no sudoers rules enabled except root. What's so special about yumex?

Something to do with polkit? Yes polkit. The curious thing is that polkit default configuration is supposed to work as you describe: admin user (in wheel) group: allow user password non admin user: require root password -- Rex -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

I was in the users group, but not in the wheel group. Also, I have all sudoers disabled except for root. Still, I get prompted for my users password. Something to do with polkit?

You probably didn't set up that user with yourself in the "wheel" group, which sets up the user for use with sudo, in a simple manner. In windows-parlance, an admin user. -- tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.13.10-200.fc20.i686 #1 SMP Mon Apr 14 21:00:56 UTC 2014 i686 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists. George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
