I have sort of a personal interest in this as well (so that a friend of
mine finally stops complaining :-) ) and it is a part of the PK
privileges reshuffling that I still need to do for lucid.
In short, we really want to allow some privileges by default for admins
on desktop boxes. Amongst those are mounting internal drives, setting
the clock, and changing the CPU frequency.
udisks currently ships a .pkla file for internal drives, but I'd really
like to move that into a "policykit-desktop-privileges" package, so that
we don't need to provide the privileges by default on servers. This
package should then also allow setting the time and CPU frequency.
