Hi,
I am on Fedora 22 Plasma Desktop. I am not sure if it has always been like
this but recently I am simply able to reboot my system without any
authentication. I run reboot or systemctl reboot and system reboots without
any prompt or timer or asking user for password.
One big problem with not asking user to enter password or starting a 30
seconds timer is that your system shuts down immediately with you losing all
or any work. I was working on my VPS and I mistakenly executed reboot on my
system's TTY.
Is this normal behavior on Fedora 22?
$ rpm -qa | grep systemd
systemd-219-24.fc22.x86_64
$ cat /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.login1.policy
<action id="org.freedesktop.login1.reboot">
<defaults>
<allow_any>auth_admin_keep</allow_any>
<allow_inactive>auth_admin_keep</allow_inactive>
<allow_active>yes</allow_active>
</defaults>
</action>
auth_admin: Authentication as an administrative user is require.
auth_admin_keep: The same as auth_admin but, like sudo, the authorization
lasts a few minutes.
If I am not mistaken according to the above poklit config it should ask for
authentication.
