What I need is some way to tell gnome to recognize that I have su/sudo privileges when I click on yast, for example, and then NOT prompt me for a password. As mentioned above this is accomplished with kwriteconfig in kde/kde4.
What I need to know is -- "How do you do the same thing in gnome?"
Dunno. I see they use different methods in 11.0 or 11.2. In 11.0 the command is "/sbin/yast2", which is a script, but I don't see how/where it asks for the password. However, looking at ps, I see that in fact it is calling "gnomesu": gnomesu -- /sbin/yast2 _ /usr/lib/libgnomesu/gnomesu-pam-backend 16 15 root /sbin/yast2 In 11.2, however, it calls "/usr/bin/xdg-su -c /sbin/yast2". I don't see a xdg-sudo program. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
