Package: network-manager
Version: 0.9.2.0-2
Severity: normal
Usertags: pca.it-communication

Hi there!

According to <file:///usr/share/doc/network-manager/README.Debian.gz>:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Security
~~~~~~~~

To allow users to connect to the NetworkManager daemon they have to be in the
group "netdev". If you want to add a user to group "netdev" use the command
"adduser username netdev" or one of the graphical user management frontends.
After that you have to reload D-Bus with the command "service dbus reload".

Alternatively you can install the "consolekit" package which will grant access
for all locally logged in users.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

There is however something strange going on: my local user 'luca' is not
in the netdev group, but "consolekit" is installed, so everything should
work just fine.  And this is the case with 0.9.4.0-1 when logged in a
*console* (sorry, I forgot to test this with 0.9.2.0-2).

However, if the user is not in the "netdev" group, when logged in via
*XDM* I get the following errors with 0.9.2.0-2 (the reason why I
reported it to this old version):

With 0.9.4.0-1 and still not being the "netdev" group, the situation
changes a bit, but it is not consistent yet with the console behavior
(which, again, works with no problem):
=====
$ nmcli nm

** (process:2930): WARNING **: Could not initialize \
 NMClient /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager: \

Error: nmcli (0.9.4.0) and NetworkManager (unknown) versions don't match. Force 
execution using --nocheck, but the results are unpredictable.
$
=====

If the local user is added to the "netdev" group, then nmcli is fine.
Thus, I would say the problem is related to ConsoleKit,given that on a
console session both "active" and "is-local" are TRUE:
=====
$ ck-list-sessions
Session1:
        unix-user = '1000'
        realname = 'Luca Capello'
        seat = 'Seat1'
        session-type = ''
        active = TRUE
        x11-display = ''
        x11-display-device = ''
        display-device = '/dev/tty1'
        remote-host-name = ''
        is-local = TRUE
        on-since = '2012-03-27T12:44:28.743202Z'
        login-session-id = '4294967295'
=====

Please note that nmcli_0.9.2.0-2 worked fine as root with
manually-created wired or Wi-Fi connections, but because of a bug in
nmcli_0.9.4.0-1 non-automatic connections can not be activated anymore:
