Introduction to PolicyKit

PolicyKit is a framework for defining policy for system-wide components and for desktop pieces to configure it. It is used by HAL.

Project Homepage: Unknown

Dependencies

Required

Optional

PolKit User/Group

groupadd -g 26 polkit &&
useradd -c "Policy Kit Daemon User" -d /dev/null \
        -u 26 -g polkit -s /bin/false polkit

Non-Multilib

Compile the package:

./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc \
    --libexecdir=/usr/lib/PolicyKit --localstatedir=/var \
    --with-polkit-user=polkit &&
make

Install the package

make install

Multilib

32Bit

Compile the package:

export CC="gcc ${BUILD32}"
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATH32}"
export USE_ARCH=32
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc \
    --libexecdir=/usr/lib/PolicyKit --localstatedir=/var \
    --with-polkit-user=polkit &&
make

Install the package

make install
unset CC
unset PKG_CONFIG_PATH
unset USE_ARCH

N32

Compile the package:

export CC="gcc ${BUILDN32}"
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATHN32}"
export USE_ARCH=n32
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc \
    --libexecdir=/usr/lib32/PolicyKit --localstatedir=/var \
    --libdir=/usr/lib32 --with-pam-module-dir=/lib32/security \
    --with-polkit-user=polkit &&
make

Install the package

make install
unset CC
unset PKG_CONFIG_PATH
unset USE_ARCH

64Bit

Compile the package:

export CC="gcc ${BUILD64}"
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATH64}"
export USE_ARCH=64
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc \
    --libexecdir=/usr/lib64/PolicyKit --localstatedir=/var \
    --libdir=/usr/lib64 --with-pam-module-dir=/lib64/security \
    --with-polkit-user=polkit &&
make

Install the package

make install
unset CC
unset PKG_CONFIG_PATH
unset USE_ARCH

Configuration

To allow HAL to automount removable drives such a thumbdrives, edit /etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf and add the following between the <config></config> tags:

<match action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable">
    <return result="yes" />
</match>

Without this you will receive an error similar to org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.PermissionDeniedByPolicy: org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable no <--(action,result) when you "plug in" your thumb drive.

You then must upgrade your util-linux to the latest version or HAL automounting will fail with the following error FAT: Unrecognized mount option "uhelper=hal" or missing value. Instructions for building the latest version of util-linux can be found the development CLFS books.
