     Thanks for pointing me to udevil (I've already read about it on 
this list, but never looked at it before). Looks pretty simple. I'm 
considering writing a script which would invoke udevil for mount/umount 
and do the same as sudox for other cases. The idea is to put that script 
in /usr/bin/local and a link to it in /usr/bin, named pkexec. I hope to 
be able to remove policykit with that.


     Cheers.
