Hello
After having a recent fresh installation, I've noticed that the update
notifier no longer seeks root privileges before downloading/
installing software packages.
This is not a big concern as I am the only user. However, I do like
the reassurance of having to deliberately do things as root, so I
would like it to not proceed without root permissions.
How do I set it up, so that the root password is asked for automatically?
I am using Squeeze (freshly squeezed as of May 30th).
Thanks

I don't know if this will help debugging this any, but apt-get requires
a password but the Update Manager (Synaptic, I believe) from within
Xfce4 doesn't.
Has anyone else noticed this? I wouldn't mind forcing it to request
root's password, but there are no apparent options to adjust the
security settings from within the application itself. Might this be an
issue to do with membership on specific groups perhaps?
Thanks for any ideas.
