[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#808162: NetworkManager does not allow remote management

[Marius Vollmer]

Package: network-manager
Version: 1.0.8-2

Hi,

the NetworkManager polkit policy in Debian does not allow changing or
adding connections from a remote session, such as a ssh or Cockpit
login.

The default upstream policy explicitly allows this.  See

    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1145646

for some discussion.

In the bug report above, the action that needed adjustement was
"org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.network-control".  In Debian,
"org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.system" would need to be
allowed for "any".
