     This message is typical of Policykit's self propaganda. sudo's 
messages are different.


     Policykit is a server-based system intended to grant you 
permissions without ressorting to the traditional unix mechanisms - same 
idea as ssh-agent, but more generic and complicated.


     Policykit's configuration is yet another pseudo-language you have 
to learn unless you can get rid of it, which is hard to do completely :-(
