Accessed the connection editor and checked the box as indicated. On apply, was prompted for a password. Without too much thought, gave it the root pw. That failed, and now the daemon password checker has me on its list and won't give me a second chance. Drat! Might have to do with policykit authorizations, but not obvious which! -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
