On centos 7, there are SHARE

instances where you


get the error Unable to
register authentication 
agent:
GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Failed:
Cannot determine user
of subject

Error registering
authentication agent:
GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Failed:
Cannot determine user
of subject (polkit-
error-quark, 0)

This usually happens

when trying to restart a
systemd service.

The workaround is as
follows:

groupadd -g 23
nohidproc

usermod -a -G
nohidproc polkitd

mount -o
remount,rw,hidepid
=2,gid=nohidproc
/proc

systemctl restart
polkit

Add the following in

/etc/fstab as well

echo "proc /proc proc

defaults,hidepid=2,gid=nohidproc

0 0" >> /etc/fstab

After mount the new

mountpoint

mount -a

systemctl restart
polkit

Hey! Thanks for this.

You specify the -g 23 option to

groupadd. Note that this is not
necessary. Any group ID will do,
even those > 1000.
