Please see the polkit man-page. Rules are meant exclusively for administrator-control and non-generic system setups. A system should run just fine with an empty /usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d/. I don't have any better solution for this problem, though. So maybe we should document this polkit-rule as workaround in the wiki until we find a real fix. This problem is kind of nasty because we want to allow a non-root user to access APIs that other non-root users cannot. But access-control has always been under control of the API-provider, not of the API-user. Therefore, installing rule files with networkd sounds wrong to me. It's hostnamed that should open the API to a specific set of users. Meh.. we really need a proper solution here.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the QA Contact for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
