Sigh. Sad, but true. I have just reproduced this problem with the lenny
iso and see why, too. I had assumed that all privileged procedures launched
from the menu used one of the su or sudo wrappers. But I find by grepping
/usr/share/menu/* for "Network admin" that this one is not wrapped. Instead,
the /usr/bin/network-admin binary itself is launched, and apparently that
checks for privs and prompts for the root password (presumably a libsudo
thing). The irksome part is that this completely ignores my gconf settings:
chroot /root sudo -u "${USERNAME}" gconftool-2 -s -t
bool /apps/gksu/sudo-mode true
chroot /root sudo -u "${USERNAME}" gconftool-2 -s -t
bool /apps/gksu/display-no-pass-info false
This is where I get lost. Is there some library built into network-admin
that does a privilege check? If so, what? And what gconf settings does
it obey (if any)? So I have some more poking about to do before I can fix
this.
