Name        : polkit
Product     : Fedora 15
Version     : 0.101
Release     : 4.fc15
URL         : http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PolicyKit
Summary     : PolicyKit Authorization Framework
Description :
PolicyKit is a toolkit for defining and handling authorizations.
It is used for allowing unprivileged processes to speak to privileged
processes.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

This update group enables the polkit-desktop-policy for KDE too:
* kde-settings now Requires: polkit-desktop-policy.
* The default policies are set up in polkit-desktop-policy to allow the org.gnome.clockapplet.mechanism.* action for members of the wheel group without entering a password. The polkit update in this update group adds org.kde.kcontrol.kcmclock.save to the list of actions allowed for members of the wheel group without a password, so that the same functionality also works without a password prompt in KDE Plasma.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.  Use 
su -c 'yum update polkit' at the command line.
