console-kit-daemon error messages in daemon.log?

[Knute Johnson]

I'm getting a lot of the messages below in my daemon.log.  The is on an 
8.10 server setup.  I'm not really clear what console-kit does and if I 
really need it.  Any information on the error and what it really does 
would be greatly appreciated.

Jan  6 00:17:01 ljr-3 console-kit-daemon[23116]: CRITICAL: cannot 
initialize libpolkit
Jan  6 00:20:01 ljr-3 console-kit-daemon[23194]: WARNING: Failed to 
acquire org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit
Jan  6 00:20:01 ljr-3 console-kit-daemon[23194]: WARNING: Could not 
acquire name; bailing out

Thanks,
