Package: wicd
Version: 1.5.9-5
Severity: normal
Hi,
this relates to a closed bug report 525622, which, being a novice,
couldn't reply directly to.
> Please read /usr/share/doc/wicd/NEWS.Debian to read what you need to do.
> I'm preparing a release which uses debconf to manage wicd-allowed users.
You are talking about a different issue. The netdev-group-configuration
is about who can *access* the wicd-daemon with wicd-client via dbus.
(Though having that done by debconf would be much appreciated!)
Now Carlos' and my problem is, that by
<busconfig>
<policy user="root">
<allow own="org.wicd.daemon"/>
<allow send_destination="org.wicd.daemon"/>
<allow send_interface="org.wicd.daemon"/>
</policy>
<policy at_console="true">
<deny own="org.wicd.daemon"/>
<allow send_destination="org.wicd.daemon"/>
<allow send_interface="org.wicd.daemon"/>
</policy>
[..]
denying to own the service name from console prompts means, even as root
I cannot start the wicd-daemon via
Debian:~# /etc/init.d/wicd start
Commenting out the part tag <policy at_console="true"> ... </policy>
solves the problem for me. I haven't tried and I don't know of a more
proper way to start the service than via console.
cheers,
Thorsten
