I tried installing policykit and using that, got identical errors as
without (Dbus access error). After a lot of fiddling, I finally modified
the hal configuration in dbus to allow those interfaces to all users
(copy/paste'd the relevant lines from the plugdev entry).

My immediate problem is handled (users stop bugging me about it) while I
try to figure out a more permanent solution for these machines.

How exactly do you users login and start their X session?
gdm, kdm, XDMCP anything else?

If the user is logged in, does he have an *active* ConsoleKit session?
Check the output of ck-list-session.

Opening up the hal configuration completely is dangerous so I strongly recommend
against that. Try to find out, why consolekit is not working as expected.

Cheers,
Michael
