Hmm.. Got a more interesting one now..
I'm logged in as an LDAP non-privileged user. From the menus, I select
System|Administration|Add/Remove Software. I add a couple packages
such as screen and dialog. On clicking Apply, I am warned:
"You have failed to provide correct authentication. Please check any
passwords or account settings."
I don't see any place to provide this authentication in the menus.
If I exit out and try to run the "gpk-application" (not sure if this
is the correct app) I get a warning that I'm running as a privileged
user.
It's caching my credentials somewhere, because I know that at one
point I was prompted to enter root password.
