Hi,
Let me address in the points
[...]
- NetworkManager
12.1 shipped with 0.9 NetworkManager which was very fresh off the press.
Before 0.9 all WLAN connections were "user" based connections and did not change the system.
0.9 features now "system" and "user" based connections.
The default is "system" connections, it was not even possible to select the "user" option. A "system" connection is too deep and should only be configurable by root in our eyes.
Sadly, the UI frontends did not offer the selection to select "user" profiles, so it was necessary.
Ludwig did quite some work on making the default more sane and it works now at Linus acceptance level I think.
=> NetworkManager and NM UI tools design issues make a secure and usable default hard.
I do not know if I understood it the right way but to me that 'point' and the (possible?/wanted?) solution looks very alike to:
openFATE #305657 finer grained PolicyKit support for Networkmanager https://features.opensuse.org/305657
This is a bit different... We have started an effort to review such usecases internally now between Andreas Jaeger and the security team. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
