Hello!
I maintain ejabberd and I've got an issue filed about ejabberd's
policykit policy being desktop-centric[0]. I've done some reading about
how I could alter the policy to make it so that it doesn't expect the
user to be at a seat, but I can't help but think that sudo is a great
way to handle this problem and probably is what a server admin would
expect to use to control access to ejabberdctl.
I'm leaning towards removing the policykit integration from ejabberd,
but I wanted to ask on this list if there's a reason I should keep and
maintain it. I honestly don't know much about it, so if there's a value
in it that I'm not seeing I'd love to be educated.
