That is, yumex doesn't prompt for the root password until it is about to do something that requires root permissison. But it is asking for the root password, not my user password, as are all other apps that require root permissions. Any ideas how to get apps to require the root password instead of my user password? 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.
