so it's most likely your own doing. There's no good UI in Rawhide/F8 for doing it except 'polkit-grant --delete <username>' as the super user. For F9 there will be a GNOME UI for managing these authorizations as well as the defaults; work-in-progress looks like this

but the UI is likely to change.
Hope this helps.

hi david,
sorry for the late feedback.. i was out of office for sometime and hence didn't access my mails.

no it was not my doing.. what i did was i pointed my repositories to a local rawhide sync tree and then i did a yum -y update. i never have seen the screen you have mentioned in the above URL. Moreover, I have never logged in as root (well, except for su - )and I clearly have not used the "Keep/Forget authorisation" thing since Fedora 1.I just wanted to know what is doing this thing, and if it is a feature of rawhide *only*, I don't have any problems..I can wait for the stable release of F8..
btw, that again makes me think...what feature is enabled/disabled in rawhide and stable release and why ??
just some thoughts..
regards, amit.
