12 polkitd provides the org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1 D-Bus service on the
13 system message bus. Users or administrators should never need to start
14 this daemon as it will be automatically started by dbus-daemon(1) or
15 systemd(1) whenever an application calls into the service.
16
17 polkitd must be started with superuser privileges but drops privileges
18 early by switching to the unprivileged polkitd system user.
