What's next in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (part 1) (Red Hat Magazine)

Red Hat Magazine looks forward to the next major RHEL release, noting that it looks a lot like what's in Fedora now. "For the administrator, however, PolicyKit opens up a wealth of new possibilities. This can be seen in the 'Authorizations' tool in the System Preferences menu. If I choose 'Setting the system time', we can see the authorization I just used. I can edit it, or add new authorizations for other users. I can even add implicit authorizations-for example, I could set it so that any user in an active console session can reset the clock."
