So without further review I'd change all org.opensuse.cupspkhelper* to 'auth_admin_keep' so polkit doesn't prompt all the time at least ('auth_admin_keep_session' doesn't exist anymore with polkit1). The current 'auth_admin' setting is unchanged since 11.1 btw.
Hrm, weird. I wonder why it wasn't asking for password more than once in the past, then, since it was already using more than once dbus methods.
Indeed. Could be called bypass of intended access restrictions :-)
Also, when I try to add a fake local printer at file:///dev/lp0 there's an authentication dialog that's not from polkit and doesn't accept the root password.
My guess is that cups doesn't like this URI, which is why it's not accepted.
Yepp. file:///dev/null works. That stange authentication dialog is a weird way to tell me the url is not acceptable though. Anyways, closing this bug as as fixed. With auth_admin_keep the root password is only needed twice now. Further improvements are a matter of system-config-printer/cups-pk-helper design. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
