To begin, I run FreeBSD-current.

I *think* that the hal, dbus, and policykit ports are the province of this list,
am I right?  I got referred here, for my problem, which is that I can't find any
concrete example of how to configure this.  I have read the tutorial on Hal and
dbus, but I can find nothing at all to read on PolicyKit, excepting some things
that are very very high level, with no conctrete examples of how to actually use it.

What I'm looking for is any app whatasover that uses policykit, then any example
at all which shows how to make that app work with hal, dbus, and policykit.

Beyond that, I know that hal is supposed to ease things like automounting of CDs
and DVDs, so i put in a DVD, and nothing happened, excepting I got this error
message:

Cannot mount volume
Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied.
Details:
A security policy in place prevents this sender from
sending this message to this recipient, see message
bus configuration file (rejected message had interface
"org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume" member "Mount"
error name "(unset)" destination "org.freedesktop.Hal")

I don't even know for sure what file is supposed to be the configuration file.
Does anyone know any details about using these things on FreeBSD?
