Permanently remember password for gksudo

I’m all about security practices on my remote server systems. On my firewalled desktop systems, however, I’d rather err on the side of convenience. I prefer to not have to type my password to use sudo or gksudo (graphical sudo). If I type my password to login to my account once, I want to have access to everything unfettered thereafter.

While there are plenty of posts on how to get sudo without password going, I never could seem to find information on how to do this for gksudo as well. So here’s how to do that.

First open the gconf-editor (gnome configuration):

Once that opens, go to /apps/gksu, and check “save-to-keyring”:

This will remember your password for gksudo, so you won’t get any more auth popups.
