Perhaps your user is in the sudo group? If yes then at least in squeeze policykit will consider you to be admin: $ cat /etc/polkit-1/localauthority.conf.d/51-debian-sudo.conf [Configuration] AdminIdentities=unix-group:sudo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
