Hi,
I have an embedded device and I do not install sudo. I need to have a
non-root running the main service capable of changing the hostname.
After spending a long afternoon on this I still have not managed.
Here i've tried adding my new user but only read-only requests go through
/usr/share/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop.hostname1.conf

Despite all my attempts I always get 'Could not set property: Access
denied' for hostnamectl set-hostname
And get the 'org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied' in dbus-monitor
method call time=1617739342.317948 sender=:1.23 ->
destination=org.freedesktop.hostname1 serial=3
path=/org/freedesktop/hostname1; interface=org.freedesktop.hostname1;
member=SetStaticHostname
string "blabla"
boolean true
...
error time=1617739342.320289 sender=:1.24 -> destination=:1.23
error_name=org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied reply_serial=3
string "Permission denied"
Any help would be greatly appreciated =)
