That might be PolicyKit upstream's default, but in Fedora it always asks for the current user's password. -- 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.

On Ubuntu, gksudo and kdesudo are just symlinks to gksu and kdesu, upstream tools that work with both su and sudo. I'll file a bug upstream to get them to use those instead for better cross-distro compatibility. > Since sudo/gksudo/kdesudo in winetricks is only called with /bin/mount to mount > ISO files, maybe we could avoid to ask any root permission try to mount ISO > images without requiring root rights (using fuse for example, with fuseiso). That's an even better solution which also should be suggested upstream. (In reply to comment #16) > Having a graphical prompt asking for the root password is a security hole? pkexec requests the currently running user's password (like sudo), and will fail if the logged in user doesn't have authorization for the requested task via PolicyKit. -- 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.

No, I just wanted to bring a different view on the package. It's still T.C.'s review, and I'm not a sponsor here ^^. > Do you mean a graphical sudo here? Not exactly, since pkexec doesn't rely on sudo, put on PolicyKit. As called in winetricks, sudo seems to be used in a Ubuntu-centric context (that is to say as a root substitute, whatever the command called with it). With PolicyKit, we don't need anymore sudo to be configured. > Since Fedora 15 anyone marked as an > administrator has sudo access from the command line.

Fedora 15 system OpenAFS upgrade problem

by Dan Scott

Hi, I have a Fedora 15 system with OpenAFS 1.6.0 installed. When I 'yum update', I get the following error: Error: Package: kmod-openafs-2.6.41.9-1.fc15.x86_64-1.6.1-0.pre1.fc15.3.x86_64 (rpmfusion-free-updates) Requires: openafs-kmod-common >= 1.6.1 Installed: openafs-client-1.6.0-1.fc15.x86_64 (@rpmfusion-free-updates) openafs-kmod-common = 1.6.0 Available: openafs-client-1.6.0-0.pre4.fc15.x86_64 (rpmfusion-free) openafs-kmod-common = 1.6.0 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodiges Is this a problem with my system, or the packages? Can someone help me fix it? Thanks, Dan Scott
