Hi There,

Running "sudo guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm" is requesting 
password for the root which is correct.

now if i use this root command with user level command like guix pull , 
password wont be requested.e.g:

"guix pull && sudo guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm"

This is strange as the command should first complete the user level 
command then when shifting to root level command it should request for a 
password (same as if i run it alone).

check the uploaded .text.
