If I were modifying Fedora for desktop users (and I don't think this is a safe general default - but if say I was Dell or someone selling Linux for the Desktop based on Fedora) - I would make the following change - I would make an option to add the firstboot user to the wheel group. The gui sysconfig-* tools (with perhaps a few exceptions) - if the tool is requested by the pam_console user AND the user is a member of the wheel group, that would be sufficient authentication to run the tool without root password. I would not do it for the user administration tool, however - I would still require root password to manage system users. But sound card detection, network device configuration, Printing, etc. - that's how I would do it. It doesn't require use of sudo, or use of the command line at all. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
