Hello

I seem to have troubles getting polkit working. I have in /etc/rc.conf

---/etc/rc.conf---
hald_enable="YES"
dbus_enable="YES"
--- ---

and this combination results in dbus, hald and consolekit services
running, but polkitd fails

---/var/log/messages---
Jan  8 17:42:55 dfly dbus[984]: [system] Activating service
name='org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit' (using servicehelper)
Jan  8 17:42:55 dfly console-kit-daemon[1010]: WARNING:
polkit_authority_get: Error getting authority: Error initializing
authority: Exhausted all available authentication mechanisms (tried:
EXTERNAL, DBUS_COOKIE_SHA1, ANONYMOUS) (available: EXTERNAL,
DBUS_COOKIE_SHA1, ANONYMOUS)
--- ---

I ran a quick test on a FreeBSD virtual machine, the above two lines
in rc.conf start dbus, hald, consolekit and polkitd and all seems
fine. I wonder if I've missed anything on DragonFly?

Cheers
