    copied!<p>It's a long time since I didn't work with PolicyKit, but from what I remember, you have indeed to create a file in the actions/ directory, with contents like :</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt; &lt;!DOCTYPE policyconfig PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD PolicyKit Policy Configuration 1.0//EN" "http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/PolicyKit/1/policyconfig.dtd"&gt; &lt;policyconfig&gt; &lt;action id="org.freedesktop.policykit.pkexec.run-ifconfig"&gt; &lt;description&gt;Configure network&lt;/description&gt; &lt;message&gt;Authentication is required to set ifconfig parameters&lt;/message&gt; &lt;defaults&gt; &lt;allow_any&gt;no&lt;/allow_any&gt; &lt;allow_inactive&gt;no&lt;/allow_inactive&gt; &lt;allow_active&gt;...&lt;/allow_active&gt; &lt;/defaults&gt; &lt;annotate key="org.freedesktop.policykit.exec.path"&gt;/sbin/ifconfig&lt;/annotate&gt; &lt;/action&gt; &lt;/policyconfig&gt; </code></pre> <p>You have to change the value in :</p> <pre><code>&lt;allow_active&gt;...&lt;/allow_active&gt; </code></pre> <p>To the value you want. Selecting a value of :</p> <ul> <li>"no" will deny access</li> <li>"yes" will implicitly permits access</li> <li>"auth_user" requires user authentication</li> <li>"auth_admin" requires admin authentication.</li> <li>"auth_user_keep" and "auth_admin_keep" function similarly but retain authentication for a few minutes afterward. </li> <li>Plus some other values, view <a href="http://beginlinux.com/appsm/policykit/922-declaringactions" rel="nofollow">here</a>.</li> </ul> <p>Changing the allow_active key's value to "yes" should stop the authentication demands.</p> <p>Then you need to adapt the action file to your needs and to call it.</p> <p>Hugo,</p>
