my user is "olivleh1" and beside other groups, I'm in the group "wheel".
my PolicyKit.conf looks like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- -*- XML -*- -->

<!DOCTYPE pkconfig PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD PolicyKit Configuration 1.0//EN"
"http://hal.freedesktop.org/releases/PolicyKit/1.0/config.dtd">

<!-- See the manual page PolicyKit.conf(5) for file format -->

<config version="0.1">
    <match user="root">
        <return result="yes"/>
    </match>
    <define_admin_auth group="wheel"/>
</config>


when now calling dbus-send:

olivleh1 at kartoffel olivleh1> dbus-send --system --dest=org.freedesktop.Hal --type=method_call --print-reply /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement.Reboot
Error org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.PermissionDeniedByPolicy: org.freedesktop.hal.power-management.reboot no <-- (action, result)
Exit 1
olivleh1 at kartoffel olivleh1> 

adding

    <match user="olivleh1">
        <return result="yes"/>
    </match>

makes me able to reboot the system using the above dbus-send command.

Is it the desired behaviour of xfce's quit dialog, that before I can
use it, I've to edit PolicyKit.conf? I wonder why define_admin_auth
is not enough. I understand that this might be a dbus/polkit/hal
problem but I can see the masses of users contacting my why their
FreeBSD xfce installation will not shutdown/reboot when they click
the buttons....
