Thanks for providing the requested information. The problem is, obviously, that
SUSE generates a .pkla file for each and every action registered with polkit.
While this is generally wasteful (you could do fine with just a single .pkla
file), the problem is that it breaks usage of the unix-group: directive by
parties (such as libvirt). This is because of how the Local Authority works -
it's even documented, see the pklocalauthority(8) man page for details:
http://hal.freedesktop.org/docs/polkit/pklocalauthority.8.html
E.g. that the eval order is groups, then users. It would probably be nice with
a way to do what SUSE wants without breaking unix-group:. I've filed a bug
upstream for this
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30181
Finally, I really wish that SUSE would work upstream on this instead of
inventing their own abstractions and add SUSE-specific configuration files all
over the place - this behavior is just not helpful - *especially* not as you
are breaking legitimate users, such as libvirt, of the configuration
infrastructure. Thanks.
