We were discussing this in Strasbourg. Lennart can probably summarize better than I can. But my understanding is that these circular dependency issues have been resolved. > what happens if you try to talk to systemd1 > interface during early boot before polkitd has started (and before a dep > that's needed by it) has started? I think it falls back on just allowing uid zero. But would be good to double check. > I thought the main reason for logind to essentially proxy the > Power/Reboot related stuff was such that polkit support could be added > there outside of systemd1 itself and thus not have any circular dep > problems. FWIW, we don't involve polkit on on Power/Reboot and similar of.systemd1.Manager method calls. General purpose callers should continue to go through logind and/or the shutdown command.
