    For now we log the following events
    
    1. Daemon startup -> /var/log/messages
    --------------------------------------
    
    Dec 11 15:12:56 localhost polkitd[3035]: started daemon version 0.95 using authority implementation `local' version `0.95'
    
    2. Authentication agent -> /var/log/secure
    ------------------------------------------
    
    Dec 11 15:14:00 localhost polkitd(authority=local): Registered Authentication Agent for session /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Session1 (system bus name :1.903 [./polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1], object path /org/gnome/PolicyKit1/AuthenticationAgent, locale en_US.UTF-8)
    
    Dec 11 15:16:18 localhost polkitd(authority=local): Unregistered Authentication Agent for session /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Session1 (system bus name :1.903, object path /org/gnome/PolicyKit1/AuthenticationAgent, locale en_US.UTF-8) (disconnected from bus)
    
    3. Authorization checks
    -----------------------
    
    Dec 11 15:17:57 localhost polkitd(authority=local): ALLOWING action org.freedesktop.policykit.example.pkexec.run-frobnicate for unix-process:2517:25785526 [bash] owned by unix-user:davidz (check requested by system-bus-name::1.905 [pkexec /usr/bin/pk-example-frobnicate])

    4. Authorizations through authentication (both success and
       failures) -> /var/log/secure
    ----------------------------------------------------------
