reassign 382895 sudo retitle 382895 sudo: timeout requires user to unneccesarily enter password thank
perhaps this has more to do with sudo than with xfce. for example, with "apt-get" as an sudo capability, i can run $ sudo apt-get upgrade Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. which is what i expect, but after a period of time (maybe something like 10 minutes...i haven't timed it), i will be required to enter my user (not root) password for sudo $ sudo apt-get upgrade password: why do i have to do this even though i have already supplied my user password to login? anyway, i think this explains why xfce requires the password on restart or shutdown. mike On 8/14/06, Simon Huggins wrote:

If you setup sudo correctly it shouldn't. What do you have in your sudoers file?
