removing remember password in fedora 13

[prajeesh]

while performing the software upgrade, my fedora 13 is not asking root password, i dnt know whether i had accidentaly put tick mark in the remember password option. i want to remove my "remember password" and it should ask password before performing upgrade. pls advice.

Thanks,
prajeesh.

It should download without the root password, but require it for the installation step. Does yours install without the root password?

[prajeesh]

thanks for the reply. it is installing without asking root password. how can i change this?..

It's a bug, as far as I'm concerned, and the Fedora developers should not put it the distro. The idea is that it permits non-privelidged users to install software from the repos enabled by the root user. I habitually remove it after every install, Yum is superior anyway.

This might help.

logged in as root from the terminal and typed the command ,
pklalockdown –lockdown org.freedesktop.packagekit.package-install

, the message appeared was
"-bash: pklalockdown: command not found".

Iam a beginer in linux. Please help to resolve it.

As suggested by Mr.kurtdriver in the link,

I logged in as root from the terminal and typed the command ,
pklalockdown –lockdown org.freedesktop.packagekit.package-install

, the message appeared was
"-bash: pklalockdown: command not found".

pls advice.

Hi Prajeesh, if you read a little further down on that page it suggests another method.

I don't know how packagekit works, I'm sorry that I can't help you with it. I suggest removing it and using yum, which is a better program. There are excellent guides to using yum on the internet.
