The implementation looks rather broken/buggy. NM seems to require PK authentication for the wrong action and presents the wrong dialogs. When a system connection is created with the option to always prompt for the password I would not expect requiring root authentication from the user to actually enter it. Also, presenting the full connection edit dialog instead of just a password prompt is rather confusing. This needs to be fixed in NM and has nothing to do with the default privilege setting. -- 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.
