I think this may be your problem. I searched some time ago and found out PolicyKit didn't support group matches. A quick look to the PolicyKit.conf(5) man page seems to confirm this is still the case. Now, I don't know if an invalid entry could invalidate the whole config, but it's worth a try.

Corrado,
You and I may be saying the same thing for two different circumstances. Admin_auth certainly allows both user and group auths for actions (man 5 PolicyKit.conf):
define_admin_auth
I wasn't saying you can't use "group" as an attribute for "define_admin_auth", I was saying you can't use it as an attribute for "match". So at least that rule won't work, I tried it before. Now, I don't know how PolicyKit deals with wrong parameters, but in the worst case it could treat the whole file as invalid, and that could be why your *other* rules don't work. I hope I made myself clearer this time :) Corrado
