We've collected a couple of use cases for the administration of a local system at: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Security_use_cases
For each use case we added a short security evaluation but in most cases don't give a recommendation on what to do.
I see that timezone is mentioned there, and an ellaborate solution described. However, in gnome 2 (I'm using 11.4) changing the timezone is just a single click on the clock. A SINGLE CLICK! I just change location (once several locations are defined) and done.
You realize this was working with polkit, right? We had this properly configured to not require authentication, after considering the security implication. That means we did the work Andreas is pushing here, but only for the timezone use case.
(The fact that it doesn't work in GNOME 3 is really just a bug, see patch at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=646185)
And a still unfixed bug. Is this fixed for openSUSE 12.2?
