We've made some progress now. After adding the account to the "adm" group, the account now appears to show as Administrator. However, neither the user password nor the root password still works when clicking the "unlock" button to change user settings in GNOME Control Center. Furthermore, a new issue has apparently manifested after making the change. Previously, applications that required authentication to access would present the Authentication popup as normal (such as GParted). Now for some reason, these apps appear to "show" as loading in the top bar before simply never opening at all. I have gone back and reviewed all of the configuration files created after package installs in BLFS for Polkit, GDM, polkit-gnome, Linux PAM, and gnome-control-center, but haven't found anything EXCEPT the fact that I apparently forgot to make the "polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1.desktop" file at the end of polkit-gnome. Adding that file and doing a quick logout/re-login, however, did not change anything. I am wondering if the issue stems from a package not building correctly as opposed to a configuration issue with authentication, but I am not sure. I'd rather save reinstalling a whole host of packages as a last resort option if possible. Thanks, Jared
