polkitd - PolicyKit daemon

polkitd

polkitd provides the org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1 D-Bus service on the system message bus. Users or administrators should never need to start this daemon as it will be automatically started by dbus-daemon(1) whenever an application calls into the service.

Written by David Zeuthen with a lot of help from many others.
