If those are missing, I wonder whether the SUSE patch would fall back to the more permissive upstream NM default, ie /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.policy
We seriously truly need a good GUI admin interface for PolicyKit, that will take all the configuration files, and present the current settings in a comprehensive manner, and allow an admin to make changes.
Having to scour the file system for configuration files, hoping to have found all configured locations for them, and all possible places a particular setting is, is - and I don't think this is hyperbole - madness. PolicyKit I'm sure was introduced to make things easier, but the truth is that it's a fricking mess of magnificent proportions (no prizes for guessing which company is responsible for it) and it desperately needs to be cleaned up
I really hope someone who really understands PolicyKit could write something like that
I also really wish we would stop allowing Red Hat to destroy our OS

There appears to be another bug (#727857) that's caused by that policykit. At the moment, I can't connect via WiFi, because nm is waiting for authorization. The access point is working properly and I can connect to it, if I reboot into Windows 7. Further, when managing connections and root password is needed, the password box is usually hidden. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
