That patch in question fixed a regression in systemd behavior that was introduced at some point that broke the non-polkit behavior. I was able to get it fixed, but I also suspect that fighting against using polkit isn't going to be productive in the long run and we should look at a way to pull it in..... preferably without needing mozjs (why a policy system decided to rely on javascript is beyond me). Eventually, we are going to want polkit-only features from systemd and there won't be grounds (like "This worked before polkit") to get upstream systemd to change to support it. > > Cheers, > > Richard >
