PolicyKit is an application-level toolkit for defining and handling the policy that allows unprivileged processes to speak to privileged processes. It is a framework for centralizing the decision making process with respect to granting access to privileged operations for unprivileged applications. PolicyKit is specifically targeting applications in rich desktop environments on multi-user UNIX-like operating systems. It does not imply or rely on any exotic kernel features. bsd_auth(3) support is based on the Slackware Linux shadow authentication port. Several patches from FreeBSD and NetBSD. *While basic functionnality works, this is NOT hooked up yet as more things are coming*
