perhaps there was an issue with the original F12 release that would have
gotten fixed if you update to current.
System is completely up to date at this point...
Yes, there is a mechanism to cache credentials - I am not knowledgeable
about this but I think it's about a five minute cache.
Believe it or not, it appears to be related to using a VNC session
versus logging in directly on the console. I can't say for sure yet,
but the VNC logins had been failing and the VMWare console (which is
effectively a local console) worked fine.
If all else fails, you can get a virtual console, su to root (su -)
and
then run the tool without any need to get credentials. But I wouldn't
know what the command is to launch packagekit (or whatever it is
called).
That's the thing.. I opened local terminal session and su'd to root,
but on running the app it complained that I was a *privileged* user.
I'll have some time to look at it tonight and hope to resolve soon..
