Can't change time/timezone

Hello,

I'm running KDE Plasma desktop 5.12.1 from Area51 on Freebsd 11.1.  Everyth=
ing
works great and is stable, however I'm not able to make changes to some sys=
tem
settings which should normally prompt for the root password when required. =
 On
Freebsd I'm just not being allowed to change them an shown a message "You a=
re
not allowed to save the configuration" (see attached screenshots).  Even if=
 I
make changes, the OK button remains greyed out, so I can't apply them.

>From some searching, it appears that to make system changes from the UI, po=
lkit
is required; I confirmed all the polkit packages for KDE are installed.  I'm
not sure if extra configuration is required, I haven't had this issue on
numerous Linux systems I've used with Plasma desktop and have never had to =
work
with polkit directly.

I've found this error in the .local/share/sddm/xorg-session.log (this is not
directly related to sddm, the same problem exists if launching startkde from
cli without sddm):

** (process:983): CRITICAL **: polkit_agent_listener_register_with_options:
assertion 'POLKIT_IS_SUBJECT (subject)' failed
"Cannot register authentication agent!"
Authentication agent result: false
Couldn't register listener!

P.S. [ade] from #kde-freebsd sent me
