Polkit contains the "/usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.policykit.policy" actions file. Is any accompanying mechanism provided as well?
I am hoping along the lines of: /usr/share/dbus-1/system-services/* - a service file that automatically launches the polickit.exec mechanism /usr/share/dbus-1/interfaces/* - a set of methods the client can request over dbus from the mechanism /etc/dbus-1/system.d - any user is allowed to make a request The client, started as root user, simply listens for dbus requests, calls polkitd over dbus requesting "pk_authority.CheckAuthorization", and if authorized, swaps the euid of the client-requested pids. Well, probably this mechanism doesn't exist, which is why gksu-polkit was created... _______________________________________________ polkit-devel mailing list polkit-devel@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/polkit-devel
