My bad, I had forgotten that. Can I blame oldtimers? > > The "synaptic-pkexec" is looking for the root password, not your sudo > passwordwhen you run it that way.

Thats all been done Mark, and I have, as user 1001, zero problems running anything else that needs root privs. I've even ran shadowconfig on after each addition while looking for a solution. Attr's are all 0755, it ought to Just Run. But pam-authentification thinks otherwise. Thinking out loud, maybe I need to sudo bash, then su pi -c "yadda yadda". Worth a try. Nope, pi can't open a display. Sigh. Thanks Mark Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
