Just to clarify: I'm one of the policykit maintainers and we modelled the default policy in Debian this way, that you'll be prompted for your user password if you are in group sudo, since that is what we'd expect admins to happen if they put users in group sudo, to grant them admin privileges. So I was interested why you wanted to work it differently. Michael -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
