OK I'm going to start by stating my BIAS policykit-1 pisses me off.

With that out of the way. here is my question why can I not allow remote sessions admin rights? why is there a remote exception thrown when Gnome auto mounts my cdrom??

Here is a valid use case for auto mounting on a headless server.
Server live in external room, admin pc lives in different part of same building. Server needs new software on CD admin walks to server puts cd in server walks to admin pc installs software.

Currently you need to mount manually. not a big deal but could be so much easier if I didn't have to do this.

So my question is who can a moan to in order to get policykit changed.

P.S. I'm a developer willing to put my time where my mouth is and change this.

I agree - with 8.10, there was a services section that I could enable and disable services - ie apache and ssh server and the like, with 9.10, there is no such way to manage this - or Ihaven't found it yet. There must be some way!

Thanks in advance for any light anyone can shed on this!
