policykit doesn't give you much more over the bus policy as described here for a single user system, since the policykit configuration would also simply allow access to SetInterfaceFirmware without password. It can give you more protection for remote shells (ssh or exploit in installed software-- note, webbrowser-app (but not store webapps of course) currently runs unconfined). Policykit may prove more flexible down the line with multiuser as well.
Like I said, this dbus bus policy is ok for now, but I have a strong suspicion it will need to be revisited for multiuser. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1426923 Title: Allow ubuntu-system-settings to set a device's firmware To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wpasupplicant/+bug/1426923/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
