Hello, I want to implement a policy agent for kde3 and I want to use only dbus calls. Unfortunately plolicykit dbus API is not very well documented and I cannot figure out how to emulate polkit_unix_session_new_for_process_sync(). Any clue? Thanks. -- -- Serghei

(Ever disabled RPC on Windows?, quite amusing). IPC over usage is worrying. IPC on QNXs microkernel may add to reliability for driver distancing but it also adds major security problems and other instabilities. ________________________________________________________ Why not do something good every day and install BOINC. ________________________________________________________

I think you right, I missed this chunk of code. Thanks. -- -- Serghei

I used org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.GetCurrentSession, which returns an object path like "/org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Session2". In PolicyKit is stated: "Unix Session. subject_kind should be set to unix-session with the key session-id (of type string)". But i'm not sure what "session-id" is, because if I pass to RegisterAuthenticationAgent the object path returned by GetCurrentSession it returns this error: "Passed session and the session the caller is in differs. They must be equal for now." -- -- Serghei(Continue reading)
