'man polkit' refers to it in "SEE ALSO" section. My first reaction was that I can probably figure it out, after a while and some experimentation, but how to explain over a phone a desired change to somebody not that handy with assorted configuration files I have no idea. Factoring in also possible selinux makes for even more fun. Here is another example of something different, but in the same spirit, which so far I cannot figure out at all. I got recently a DVD drive, made by LG, which is identified as: Vendor: HL-DT-ST Model: DVDRAM GH22NS50 Rev: TN00 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 05 When this drive is _empty_ then a device shows up with udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_label_Bluebirds' and a desktop session mounts it as iso9660 file system on /media/Bluebirds and the following "files" in it: autorun.inf bluebirds.exe drag&burn.exe s e t u p.exe Yes, the last line really has all these blanks (0x20). I spent quite a bit of time trying to figure out how to prevent DeviceKit from performing such spurious mounts. We seems to be dealing with a "firmware goodie" for Windoze users. Up and including Fedora 10 there were at least some .fdi policy files so it appears that there was at least a fighting chance. Now if there is a way to prevent DeviceKit from tripping over its own legs so far I failed to find it.
