something called PackageKit.
That is incorrect, unless somehow your ssh tunneled VNC registers as
"local console login", which I doubt. In your case, none of your users
would be allowed to install software/updates.
There is a logical flaw in this argument. Last month you would have told
me the PackageKit is totally safe; you need to know the admin password
to install anything. Seems that that is no longer true. Where is my
guarantee that the current restrictions won't be loosened.
