== Running Synaptic without a password ==


Edit as '''<font color="red">root</font> ''/usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.pclinuxos.synaptic.policy'''''

change the following lines to:

    <allow_any>'''yes'''</allow_any>
    <allow_inactive>'''yes'''</allow_inactive>
    <allow_active>'''yes'''</allow_active>

Save the file and now synaptic will no longer ask you for root password.
