it seems that the key-icon is not displayed if you execude a root-application from the gnome-terminal.
it would be nice if someone could give me a hint how to change/control the time for "keeping authorization" for this one because there is no visual control.
The posting at http://www.spinics.net/lists/pam/msg03703.html suggests that this is a non-trivial thing to change.
$ man pam_timestamp eg. system-config-network , keep authorization for 20 sec
---- # grep timestamp /etc/pam.d/system-config-network #auth sufficient pam_timestamp.so auth sufficient pam_timestamp.so timestamp_timeout=20 session optional pam_timestamp.so ----
authorization is lost after 20 sec from gnome-terminal and from gnome-menu
Unfortunately this only applies to system-config-network; you'd need to repeat this edit for the dozens of other files in /etc/pam.d that include pam_timestamp.so in order to be consistent.
it would be great if this could be done via /etc/security/timeout.conf /etc/security/pam_env.conf or /etc/sysconfig/pam or ...
Agreed.
Paul.
