Wrong, please read the bug reports linked in this thread. Creating a connection does always need root privileges.
Definitely not here. Nice to see that you know my setup better than I do.
Did you do something different to your setup? Mine is default since policykit is greek to me.
Not knowingly, but the machine is updated since ~11.2 with Factory constantly, so something I had to set as a bug workaround years ago might now save my day.
Hint: the same will probably be true for the developers and so this unfortunate bug crept in. So what. Had everyone done his duty during beta-test this could have been caught.
Now people are stealing the developers precious time with useless discussions here about something that's simply a bug.
Were I Will, I would call for the Censor^WModerator of this list to avoid this waste of time ;-)
As Will, I think I've just removed the point of this little spat with my other mail on this thread, but thanks for calling me names. Now would you care to check why your system does not throw a polkit dialog on creating a new unshared connection (org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.own)? See the value of POLKIT_DEFAULT_PRIVS in /etc/sysconfig/security and check the appropriate SUSE specific overrides (/etc/polkit-default- privs.* and .local) 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 Will
Is it possible that for some reason the configurations may be different on different installations?
It is of course not impossible, but I doubt it.
