Desktop without plugdev
Posted on May 1st, 2009 by Daniel
For quite a while now, Gentoo has used the plugdev group as a catch-all for Things-You-Need-Special-Permission-For-On-Desktops. This includes automounting (what it was originally for), dbus policy, networkmanager policy, and so on.
As of today, modulo bug # 268223, I have what appears to be a full working desktop without being in the plugdev group. This means, in my opinion, that policykit/consolekit is fully useful on Gentoo.
Very very very nice

Thank you for that!!
