Public bug reported:
Launching firewall-config from dash asks user to authenticate and then
launches normally, however, the process still runs as regular user and
not as root. Changes are unable to be made from Options -> change
default zone of connections. The menu lists no connections. In the
default zone, connections can be seen as sources. See Screenshot 1.
Running sudo firewall-config from terminal does allow changes from
Options -> change default zone of connections. The menu does list
connections. See Screenshot 2.
Running ps -ef | grep firewall from terminal shows that the process,
when run from dash and authenticated still runs as regular user. When
run as sudo firewall-config the process does run as root. See Screenshot
3.
Package is firewall-applet.
I do not know if this is a security issue or if there are further issues
when running from dash.
