I notice that the second time I launch the Root Terminal from XFCE, it
skips asking for a password and shows the following warning:
Granted permissions without asking for password
The '/usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator' program was started
with the privileges of the root user without the need
to ask for a password, due to your system's
authentication mechanism setup.
It is possible that you are being allowed to run
specific programs as user root without the need for a
password, or that the password is cached.
This is not a problem report; it's simply a
notification to make sure you are aware of this.
I haven't seen this before. What should I change to have XFCE require a
password each time I launch the Root Terminal icon.
This message is typical of Policykit's self propaganda. sudo's
messages are different.
Policykit is a server-based system intended to grant you
permissions without ressorting to the traditional unix mechanisms - same
idea as ssh-agent, but more generic and complicated.
Policykit's configuration is yet another pseudo-language you have
to learn unless you can get rid of it, which is hard to do completely :-(
