POLKITD(8)                          polkitd                         POLKITD(8)
NAME
       polkitd - The polkit system daemon
SYNOPSIS
       polkitd
DESCRIPTION
       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) or
       systemd(1) whenever an application calls into the service.
       polkitd must be started with superuser privileges but drops privileges
       early by switching to the unprivileged polkitd system user.
       See the polkit(8) man page for more information.
