(message received privately, forwarding back to the list). I upgraded with aptitude too, I only use aptitude. Since my initial message I tried to fiddle a bit with consolekit, now I get to login without entring a password, and "sudo" works without a password too... Of course I didn't explicitly ask for this ! I'll let you know if my experiments lead somewhere... or not. Tom -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
