ask for sudo/root user password while trying to write to root-owned files like /etc/*

[unxed]

currently an attempt to edit/save any file owned by root results to "Error 5"

expected behavour for Far Manager is to ask for a password of user with administrative privilegies as other FMs do.

tested 0b4e91a

working: file copying, file saving in editor
still fails: file moving, file deletion, wipe file, folder creation, folder copy, folder rename, folder move

file renaming asks for password, but actually performs copy, leaving old named file with "error 5"

also, "cancel" button pressed in password entry dialog hangs far2l

thats why this issue still opened

[unxed]

can sudo sessions be cached not to ask passwords for multiple access to the same resources?

[elfmz]

They're cached according to system policy. Not by resources however, just by timeout

[elfmz]

hm. it seems there is bug and sudo doesnt cache password if far launched not from console. I usually launch it from terminal so didnt' see that before.

[unxed]

As for me (if it matters), I launch far using task panel shortcut I made for it.

[unxed]

now also working: folder creation, folder deletion, file deletion, file rename, folder rename
still fails: file move (to sudo-needed dir), folder move (to sudo-needed dir), wipe file
all three fail with error 2

[elfmz]

closing as in generic sudo works now, while still requires some improvements and better multiarc support, but thats not critical

[unxed]

retested file and folder moving and file wipe, confirming working

and that's a really great feature mc never had :)
