That is one of the problems which I meant with my mail of 10/22 with the subject "org.freedesktop.accounts.policy" Either the user has to be a member of the group 'sudo', or you have to edit / usr/share/polkit-1/org.freedesktop.accounts.policy. With a single user system sudo might not be a problem, with a multi-user system you have to edit '/ etc / sudoers' quite laboriously if not everyone should be allowed to do everything. I would therefore rather edit org.freedesktop.accounts.policy and use '<allow_active> auth_self </allow_active>' instead of 'auth_admin' in the corresponding sections. Then you have to authenticate yourself with your own password. -- Gruß Helge
