Comment 14 for bug 238799

After some consideration I like the 'feature' of authorisations based on local/remote consoles. I have not changed the defaults as it is more secure and I dont have a monitor nearby.

I think it was more frustrating (for a noob) to not know that this was the problem/root cause for 'unlock' being greyed out. Perhaps a pop-up on the greyed-out 'unlock' button saying "remote console: not authorised" would at least give us a clue! I haven't yet run into a wiki guide yet to adjust authorisations via the cmd-line (which I do have sudo access) to enable these features... which would be a happy compromise as I believe 'everything can be done on the cmd-line'... but not sure how. ;o( Any suggestions Chris?
