Systemd, of course, *would* ask for a password, if polkit (PolicyKit) weren't there. On 13 September 2014 17:30, Mateus Rodrigues Costa <charles.costar@gmail.com

Hi,
as user I have the permission to run systemctl reboot _without_ sudo.
$ groups wheel games video audio optical storage power users vboxusers rocketmouse
$ sudo cat /etc/sudoers | grep -v "#" | grep " " root ALL=(ALL) ALL rocketmouse ALL=(ALL) ALL
1. How can I disable it?
2. Since I'm the only user I could live with it, but I anyway want to be ask for a password, before I run the command by a menu entry.
Is anything speaking against running gksudo systemctl reboot ? Is anything speaking against running gksudo -u some_user reboot ?
I don't think so, but I want to ensure that I don't miss something.
Again, I can execute it successfully without gksudo, I want to add gksudo, because I want to be asked for the password.
Regards, Ralf
I think this is because your current session is the only session running. In those situations systemctl power management commands don't ask for root/sudo password. Not sure how to disable though. If you had another session running (e.g. a VT) the commands would ask for root/sudo password.
