Package: policykit-1 Version: 0.96-1 Severity: wishlist policykit-1 supports specifying permissions for groups, not just individual users.
Thus, please consider shipping policykit-1 with a .pkla file granting all permissions (when on the console) to a new empty group. The administrator can add users to this group to let them authenticate via policykit without a password. (Arguably, users in the "sudo" group, as root-equivalent users, ought to have this permission, but it seems safest to have a unique group specific to policykit-1.) - Josh Triplett -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages policykit-1 depends on: ii consolekit 0.4.1-3 framework for defining and trackin ii dbus 1.2.16-2 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libc6 2.10.2-5 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libeggdbus-1-0 0.6-1 D-Bus bindings for GObject ii libexpat1 2.0.1-7 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii libglib2.0-0 2.22.4-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libpam0g 1.1.0-4 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libpolkit-backend-1-0 0.96-1 PolicyKit backend API ii libpolkit-gobject-1-0 0.96-1 PolicyKit Authorization API policykit-1 recommends no packages. policykit-1 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
