Description Daniel Berrange 2008-01-11 20:36:19 UTC 
Description of problem:
virsh currently relies on the user having obtained PolicyKit credentials
externally. In PolicyKit 0.7 there is a new 'polkit-auth' binary is suitable for
being run by command line tools to obtain credentials. If the command line tool
has an X session active it will use the graphical prompt, otherwise it'll do a
text terminal prompt. We should use this, rather than attempting to write
equivalent ourselves.
