Systemd, of course, *would* ask for a password, if polkit (PolicyKit) weren't there.
Ah, thanks for pointing that. Anyway, is disabling the service enough or does he need to uninstall the package completely? I see that on my system polkit is a dependency for some packages, so it might not be easy/recommended to simply uninstall it.
A good question :), resp. when do I need it and when don't I need it? I have to read a little bit.
$ groups
wheel games video audio optical storage power users vboxusers rocketmouse
Btw, I think systemd takes care of (and "replaces") some of these groups and you don't need (and in some cases shouldn't) add your user to them unless really needed. You should take a look at the Groups page at the wiki about that.
I will do this.
$ sudo cat /etc/sudoers | grep -v "#" | grep " "
root ALL=(ALL) ALL rocketmouse ALL=(ALL) ALL
Sorry for this one but, any reason you thought that you should create a custom group instead of using the wheel group? Also, if you are using that custom group for sudo, why is your user both in that group and wheel?
Thank you, I'll read about this too. Regards, Ralf
