Hello All,
I have, for some time, been getting these messages in my logs:
=============8<============================================= WARNING: General Protection Faults in these executables traps: polkitd : 2 Time(s)
Looks like polkitd crashed twice during your logwatch report interval. If you have the Automatic Bug Reporting Tool (ABRT) installed it should have picked these crashes up and allow you to file a bug for them.
I believe polkitd will be automatically started by dbus when it is needed again so you might not ever notice any ill effects. On the other hand, you might find that you are unable to perform administrator actions from the GUI when this happens. It wouldn't affect anything else.

These are all completely harmless. You should configure logwatch to ignore them and/or file a bug to have them ignored by the default configuration.

OK - Thanks for the info. Much appreciated.
This (or rather that) is a headless machine that acts as my home server. I ssh into it when I need to do stuff (although I do sometimes use the ssh -Y option to use some graphical tools like firewall-config).
Thanks for the reassurance...
