Title:
  unity-greeter .pkla file does not work consistenly on all the systems

Status in “unity-greeter” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The current .pkla file does not work properly on all system.

  It seems that policykit handles localauthority files with action
  wildcards somewhat nondeterministically. AFAICT the file is specified
  according to policykit documentation, but still the file does not work
  as expected on all of the systems. In fact on systems where the file
  does not work switching the rules around has desired effect, but this
  breaks the systems where the original file already works.

  To get the file to work reliably on all the systems the wild card
  needs to be removed and all permissions for each action has to be
  specified explicitly.
