On my older system i have PolKit allow *everything*, and for quite a while - and seen no ill effects.
On my newer system I was wondering if I can just disable it entirely.
This is a *single user* network. Anyone at the keyboard should have absolute control. From using devices to shutting down the system.
I am only concerned about WAN security here.
What precisely might be unintended consequences, other than standard vague boilerplate about 'compromising security'.

Re: PolKit
When I disabled polkit in the Startup I was unable able to open admin programs from the menu (such as Software Manager, Synaptics PM, etc.
However I could still access the gui via command line.

Good to know
I usually run admin functions from a rooted terminal anyway.
I was worried about it breaking things of more importance!
