Thanks. You want a person who not fully understands the concept to come up with a patch? Although I was able to configure Rahul's example, I still don't understand the manpage. Let me give you some examples: > Configuration for the Local Authority are read from files in > the /etc/polkit-1/localauthority.conf.d directory.

So what is the relationship between the .conf files in /etc/polkit-1/localauthority.conf.d and the .pkla files in /var/lib/polkit-1/? Do they coexist, does one overwrite the other or are they generated from the conf files? If so, by what program? > Allowed values are similar to what can be used in the defaults section > of .policy files used to define actions This is the first time .policy files are mentioned.
