Hi all, when running a program from my personal(unpriviledged) gnome desktop that requires root permission it asks for the root-password. After that the program starts up and on the gnome pannel a yellow shield appears to indicate that the session has "temporarily" root-permission. when the icon is on the pannel all priveledged tasks can be started up without typing the password. After some time the icon disappears and to perform a priviledged task the password has to be retyped. Yesterday I tried to find out if I could manipulate the time the icons stays "on". I do not know what I did but I succeeded to set this time to zero : the icon never appears and the root-password has to typed in always. Questions : How can I get the original behaviour back? How can I change the timespan where you are authorized to perform root-tasks?
