Re: Kiosk in KDE 4?
by Aaron Seigo on Wednesday 09/Apr/2008, @00:45

kiosk (not kio, which is about file access (ergo the "io")) will not be dropped in favour of policykit; the two are complimentary but orthogonal concepts.

kiosk lets one define defaults and lock down policies for settings, policykit allows one to allow access to and define processes that need to be run with auth priveleges other than what the user may be logged in with.

both allow user/group definitions and are rather flexible at runtime, but both are needed rather than one replacing the other.
