Please disregard this post. I just added the primary user to several
groups, 'root' included, and that sufficed to correct the problem. Thank you!
In my previous Fedora 24 installation, I had added my account to the
'wheel' group (during installation, if I remember correctly).
The problem with that was whenever I did anything that required
administrator privileges, I'd be prompted with a password dialog, but it
wouldn't say for which account. i.e. for root or for my username.
What I understood that if you are a sudoer, then your own password is
needed, otherwise the root password is needed. But I think the password
prompt should explicitly specify whose password it wants.
