Disabling auth dialog for cpu freq scale applet

[letronje]

I just did a fresh install of Ubuntu 9.10 and added the cpu freq scale applet to my panel.

I regularly change my cpu frequency and its annoying when it asks me to authenticate each time i try to change the freq. Is there a way to disable it? I tried reconfiguring gnome-applets using "sudo dpkg-reconfigure gnome-applets" but that didn't work(nothing happens). This trick had worked for me in 9.04 i think.
Please Let me know how i can fix this.

Thnx in advance.

Here is what you need to do:

sudo gedit /var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/01-cpufreq.pkla

and paste this:


[cpufreq policy for admin group]
Identity=unix-group:admin
Action=org.gnome.cpufreqselector
ResultAny=no
ResultInactive=no
ResultActive=yes
