How do I get rid of all the security features

I can't seem to figure out how to get authorization to add/upgrade any soft ware. I am the only user on this computer. I would also like to know how to get rid of all the security features on Fedora 10, as I am the only user and do not require them.

Not a good idea to remove certain security. If say SeLinux then you can turn the service off. If you dont want the firewall then the same. Example to turn off firewall service. Most be run as root.
/sbin/service iptables stop
/sbin/chkconfig --level 345 iptables off

If wanting to run root commands as user then you need to edit your sudoers file. Or make changes to Pam services. Easier to edit sudoers file with command as root. Use command visudo. It uses vi though. If new to vi you change the default editor with this command ' export EDITOR = nano ' or change nano to your favorite editor. The export must be done in the same enviroment as the visudo command. There are examples in the sudoers file to help you get what you want or search here or google for needed changes.

Always leave root. This is what makes linux secure compared to the poor job of other OSes.

Use the command ' su - ' to change to root in command prompt with root's enviroment variables.
Use just ' su ' to change to root but you still are using the users enviroment variables.

I would like to be able to add packages and keep Fedora up to date but I always get this message and I don't know what to do about it.

"failed to get a TID: A security policy in place prevents this sender from sending this message to this recipient, see message bus configuration file (rejected message had interface "org.freedesktop.PackageKit.Transaction" member "SetLocale" error name "(unset)" destination "org.freedesktop.PackageKit") (0)

Any help would be appreciated.
