Hey, Here's a new polkit release fixing a new bugs in 0.97. You may download it from
http://hal.freedesktop.org/releases/polkit-0.98.tar.gz There's also a new "textual authentication agent" feature in this release. In a nutshell, it means that pkexec(1) and pkcheck(1) can now easily be used in environments where no desktop session has registered an authentication agent (e.g. 'su -' and ssh(1) sessions). There's no new polkit-gnome release this time. Enjoy! Thanks, David -------------- PolicyKit 0.98 -------------- This is PolicyKit 0.98.
