Description Bill Nottingham 2011-03-17 18:02:06 UTC

Description of problem:

Now that we're adding a checkbox to add users to the wheel group, and the Administrator bit in the GNOME user dialog does this as well.

From https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=462161:

We probably also want something similar for pam -- add "UGROUPS=wheel" to
/etc/security/console.apps/config-util, and for any appropriate
usermode-enabled apps which don't have that already.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

usermode-1.106.1-3.fc15.x86_64

How reproducible:

100%

Expected results:

Thanks for your report.

With sudo giving every member of wheel root privileges anyway, I suppose there's no point in delaying this change any further.

Has anybody take care of the documentation of this change yet?
