Hi Dan, Re this commit:
commit 8310593ce48a85aa82d4a2adf805662f2b019ef5 Author: Dan Williams <d...@redhat.com> Date: Fri Oct 15 10:28:38 2010 -0500 core: ignore authorization for sleep/wake requests (but restrict to root) (rh #638640) Everyone uses pm-utils still for sleep/wake support, and that's traditionally how NM was put to sleep and woken up. But pm-utils uses dbus-send without --print-reply so dbus-send quits immediately after sending the message. That doesn't give NM enough time to get the senders UID and thus validate the request, so the request gets denied, and sometimes NM stays asleep after the machine is woken up. Instead, don't get the sender's UID and try to authorize it, but just let the request go through. Rely on D-Bus permissions to make sure that only root can call sleep/wake methods. Why not have NM ship the pm-utils sleep hook instead of having to work around what they ship? Last I checked, NM is the only app for which upstream pm-utils ships a sleep hook, and Victor (the lead dev there) was hoping to have apps ship their own so that he didn't have to maintain stuff that he may not be familiar with. -RW _______________________________________________ networkmanager-list mailing list networkmanager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
