A quick note for completeness on policykit - it takes two config files to manage policykit (which threw me a bit), see pkexec, but see also pklocalauthority to authorise users: http://hal.freedesktop.org/docs/polkit/pklocalauthority.8.html http://mdzlog.alcor.net/2010/06/27/navigating-the-policykit-maze/ Also on the subject of creating/ running a daemon from init, a template for python code to do this here: http://www.jejik.com/articles/2007/02/a_simple_unix_linux_daemon_in_python/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
