Description

run common desktop actions without password
This package provides a set of PolicyKit privileges which allow Administrators
to run common actions without being asked for their password:
.
* mounting and checking internal disk drives (through udisks)
* setting the CPU speed and policy (through the GNOME CPU frequency applet)
* setting the time and timezone (through the GNOME clock applet or through
KDE)
* Adding/changing system-wide NetworkManager connections
* Update already installed software
* Configure printers
.
It does not change privileges for non-Administrators (users who are not in the
"admin" or "sudo" group). So this satisfies the typical desktop/laptop use
case where the user has full control over the hardware anyway.
.
This is implemented by shipping a pklocalauthority(8) file.
