11/14/2022, 8:18 PMIt will only ask you for the password when it needs it. It is used for different purposes: for vmnet to get a routable IP address, and for creating the

11/14/2022, 8:19 PMFor vmnet access it creates the file
/etc/sudoers.d/zzzzz-rancher-desktop-limafast-garage-66093
11/14/2022, 8:20 PMSo when you re-enable admin access (with an otherwise unchanged configuration), it will find that the sudoers file is still valid and will just use it again

11/14/2022, 8:22 PMYou could argue that the sudoers file should be deleted when you disable admin access. But we are planning to move away from using sudo completely and use a privileged helper process instead in the future, so we are unlikely to change anything until we have implemented the helper process.

11/14/2022, 8:28 PMThank you for the explanation, @fast-garage-66093! It actually proves that my system works as expected.

11/16/2022, 9:37 PM@fast-garage-66093 you might still consider removing docker socket and sudoers file in case of Factory Reset, for a consistent experience. I just did a factory reset and it didn’t ask me anything.
If I were to take it to extreme, I’d treat Factory Reset as a fresh install. Just a suggestion/opinion, no hard feelings either way 🙂

11/16/2022, 9:39 PMI do want to remove the sudoers file once we don't use it anymore at all. I'm not convinced removing the socket helps with anything, but once we have the privileged helper it should be simple enough to do on shutdown of the app

11/16/2022, 9:40 PMOh, I’m glad I checked - the Factory Reset set my CPUs to 2, dropping from 18. But left RAM unchanged, I think; 6GB. If you compute these numbers, from OS resources, I have 10 cores/20 threads and 128GB RAM in this box. Hope this helps

11/16/2022, 9:40 PMIt left the RAM at 6 because that is the default 😄

11/16/2022, 9:41 PMonce we have the privileged helper…Ah, yes indeed, you’ll only ask for root permission once for that helper, and won’t need them anymore.

11/16/2022, 9:42 PMRAM at 6 because that is the defaultfair enough, so we get defaults after factory reset. Consistent experience 🙂

fast-garage-66093
11/16/2022, 9:43 PMThat is the idea of factory-reset: all custom settings are discarded; the configuration is like a fresh install

11/16/2022, 9:43 PMRight, that’s how I understand it. Red font helps, too

11/16/2022, 9:44 PMI just argued again this morning that the factory reset should not by default delete cached Kubernetes images because they are not custom settings; just additional content that is downloaded at a later time. Deleting it doesn't reset anything because it will just be replaced again with identical content when needed
b
broad-train-31975
11/16/2022, 9:50 PMI agree with that; it helps to save bandwidth and does not test patience of those users with slow or intermittent Internet connections. The content is identical to the level of enforcement; in my co people started using Nexus development Docker repos that allow redeployment, for production, thus version/tag meant nothing because the content could and did change. Worst experience I ever had.
But of course we trust GCR to not change the content without changing tags, or else the whole world will be broken :)

11/16/2022, 9:57 PMWell, it is the package owner you have to trust... You can use sha256 checksums instead of tags in your image names, if you want to be sure
b
broad-train-31975
11/16/2022, 9:59 PMOf course, we do that in some cases. Tags can be moved, checksums, good luck with that
