Before today, when I installed slim, I never had to authenticate using polkit to connect to a network, restart or shutdown my computer or to access audio devices. I installed slim today and enabled the slim.service file. After this, my polkit authentication agent began asking for my password everytime I tried to connect to a network or tried to shutdown or restart my computer. I couldn't even access my audio devices unless I tried as root. After uninstalling slim, everything went back to normal again. But I need a login manager and I really like slim and want to use it. What is going wrong with it?

Are you sure it is not the issue noted in the warning at the top of SLiM?

It's unmaintained for ~5 years is the main thing that's wrong with it.
Why do you need a display manager?

I read the whole wiki page on Slim but somehow missed the warning that it is unmaintained. Thanks for pointing it out. I am currently not using a display manager but I have multiple desktop environments installed. I believed that using a display manger would make switching DEs easier. I guess I got to find something else.
