Hi all,

There seem to be some changes between 0.7.0 and 0.8 with respect to using PolicyKit to get rights to add and modify system level connections. With 0.7.0 I can run the command :

dbus-send --session --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.PolicyKit.AuthenticationAgent / \
org.freedesktop.PolicyKit.AuthenticationAgent.ObtainAuthorization \
string:org.freedesktop.network-manager-settings.system.modify uint32:0 uint32:$PPID


and I am prompted to select a user with root permissions, and enter their password. However, if I do the same thing on 0.8 the command just returns false without ever prompting.

Has something changed that prevents a program other than nm-applet from adding/updating settings? Or has there been some other subtle change that I am missing.

I have Googled this thing to death, and am just not getting anywhere. So any help would be appreciated!
