Yes. No. Maybe. As almost always when dealing with unixoid systems there is no one single right way to do a thing. Unless you use the broadest definition of the term, i.e.: "The right way is whatever works[TM] for me." However, that having said (and IANAPKE[*]): I suspect that the "ResultAny=yes" line in the linked SE thread could be considered a security hole at least by some. (I should probably not mention I used similar hacks in the past - alas, I just did. :P) [*] I am not a policykit expert ;o) HTH Best regards Urban -- Sapere aude! _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
