Description Jim Perrin 2012-07-31 16:24:32 CEST
If you run the realcrypt gui, by default it will always prompt you for root's password. If you're a normal user and not an admin, this isn't ideal.

I propose a minor change to /etc/security/console.apps/realcrypt

by adding 'FALLBACK=true' to the file, it will still prompt for root authentication, but will allow a user to run it unpriviledged as well. 

In theory this would apply to the el6 non-free build of realcrypt as well.   

Thoughts?

RPMFusion is no longer releasing updates for this version of Fedora. This bug
will be set to RESOLVED:EXPIRED next week to reflect this.

If the problem persists after upgrading to the latest version of Fedora, please
update the version field of this bug (and re-open it if it has been closed).
