[Bug 575428] Re: policykit authorization in KDE Lucid systemsettings is absent

[Brian harkness]

In Karmic, there was an icon SystemSettings >> Advanced .. Policykit
Authorizations

There one could do several things which allowed users access to

Hard disk partitions
Various KPackageKit features

And when those items were "modified" using this "tool," one could
circumvent a user from needing to put in a password for:

mounting internal partitions
updating the package list
upgrading packages
installing packages

So that is what I noted.  I am not sure why it was removed.

Gnome kept a frontend for this.  Either KDE or Kubuntu removed it, or
something is not working correctly.

I hope this clarifies what the issue is. Is this a bug, or an
intentional removal of a means of granting password-less access to
certain items in KDE?
