I don't understand the full workings, but basically an authentication agent is used by an application to run as another user, e.g. in this case I am running virt-manager as a normal user, and the authentication agent (when running) pops up and lets me run the application by giving root credentials. Without this, virt-manager will not let me access the virtual machines. I could probably put the command in one of the init files, but I am sure other users must have similar applications and wonder if there is a better way to resolve authentication? -- Johnny _______________________________________________ Stumpwm-devel mailing list Stumpwm-devel@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/stumpwm-devel
