Description of problem: After adding my user to the desktop_admin_r group, root authentication via polkit no longer works Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): polkit-0.95-0.git20090913.3.fc12.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. useradd -G desktop_admin_r chris 2. pkexec somecommand Actual results: Password dialog insists on a wrong password although it was entered correctly. Expected results: Adding a user to an additional group should not result in a spurious password error. It must still be possible to get additional privileges after provding the pw. If this is not yet implemented, I suggest to remove the esktop_admin_r group to avoid confusion.
There was another user still in the desktop_admin_r group, but the authentication dialog didn't show the dropdown to select the user. After restarting polkitd everything works as expected, so I close this NOTABUG.
