Summary: admin: protocol in dolphin crashes polkitd
Classification: Frameworks and Libraries
Product: kio-admin
Version First unspecified
Reported In:
Platform: openSUSE
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
If I open a tab in dolphin and set the location to admin:/tmp/foo, polkit
prompts me for a password and now I have root permissions in /tmp/foo, great!
Shortly afterwards, it suddenly 'kicks me out', and I see the message that
Administrator rights have expired. Subsequent attempts to gain admin rights
immediately 'kick me out' again. Looking at the journal, I can see that polkitd
is crashing due to exceeding the open files limit, which is at the default.
This started happening a couple of months back back was working prior to that.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open dolphin and browse to some folder you'd like to have root in
2. prefix location with "admin:" and press enter
3. Fill password prompt
4. Use for a short time
OBSERVED RESULT
polikitd crash
EXPECTED RESULT
no polkitd crash
