CentOS - Mar 2013 - Policy kit issue on new install of 6.4

Twice I've done a fresh install of a "Development" machine.  In
both cases pkexec as a normal user always returns "Error executing command
as another user: No authentication agent was found."  This keeps me from
getting a root command line and prevents yumex from starting from the launcher.

I've googled and found nothing accept some references to installing virtual
box.  Checking the man pages for polkit was no help either.

Since this only happens when I install the "Development" group I must
assume that some package is missing, and I am at a loss as to where to look.

Any clues?

Completely unfamiliar with pkexec, but it sounds as though no
authentication agent is running. Is something like ssh-agent running, and
have you added credentials (e.g. ssh-add)?
