Polkit agent - need or no?

Hello everyone.
Do I need to install any polkit agent like LXPolkit for Openbox, if I don't use Wi-Fi?
I have polkit installed for shutdown/reboot without root user.

Re: Polkit agent - need or no?

If you have your system configured so that no polkit action ever requires you to enter a password, then you don't need a polkit agent. I always have an agent running in case I need it, I prefer polkit-gnome since it is a bit more verbose.
