The last couple times I tried to do anything like that, I ended up in scary undocumented land. There's polkit, the modern Javascript config (I think), the legacy pkla compat thing, and the rules that the pkla compat thing reads. I think that man polkit is describing the latter. And actually testing a rule is a PITA. This configuration may be powerful, but IMO it's far from user-friendly. --Andy -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
