This is not a problem for the majority of distributions because of two reasons: First, root logins are disabled on Ubuntu/RH/... and second, there's a specific check in the script that creates the /var/run/dbus/at_console/$username (it's a different path on other distros, but used for the same thing) to never create it for root. Upstream NM wasn't very interested in these changes, mainly to have one common conf file for distros that still use the old (insecure) DBus and things work just fine now. It looks like the new configuration file Ludwig wrote will get accepted, so let's go with this. Ludwig, could you add a 'rm -rf /var/run/dbus/at_console/*' to one of the startup scripts (either CK or dbus I guess) to make sure there's no stale directories there? The problem with these is that whoever is logged in during a system freeze or hard reset, these users would always be considered as at_console="true" by DBus. Technically, that would solve this bug as well, so do we want to proceed with NM applet .conf file changes as well? Do we want to move the new configuration to NetworkManager package now for released distros? In that case we need to sync the updates of NetworkManager and all the applets to all distros... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
