Many thanks, I was kinda hoping there was just a setting in NetworkManager's configuration that would turn that off or permit select users rather than having to recompile. By the sounds of things in the short term at least, I need to sweet-talk polkit into giving me access. My research has lead me as far as PolkitAgentTextListener: http://www.freedesktop.org/software/polkit/docs/0.105/PolkitAgentTextListener.html Unfortunately I've seen absolutely 0 on how to access this from within Python, so I shall enquire on the polkit lists and find out if I'm on the right track and how to tickle it the right way.
