Since user interaction is allowed when the permission for SaveHostname
is requested, if the user didn't authorize completely when polkit
returns, we don't want to proceed with the request. Otherwise we might
get into a situation where it's possible for the user to authorize,
but they didn't, and previously the code would allow the request.
Presently, when automatic connecting fails, the connection is marked
as invalid and is not retried again. This commit adds a configuration
parameter to specify how many times the connection should be re-tried.
This patch updates timestamps in system connections. The update occurs on
connection activation and then periodically every 5 mins while the connection
is active. It only works for plugins having write support and for writable
connections (not read-only).
Need to make sure we actually export the connection over D-Bus (via
claim_connection()) before we try to return its object path in the
AddConnection reply. Second, we need to send the path as a string
in the reply, not an object, since the return type is an object path.
NMSysconfigSettings has the authoritative list of connections, no reason
to duplicate all that tracking code in NMManager. Add the missing bits
that the manager had to NMSysconfigSettings, and point NMPolicy at the
settings object instead of NMManager for that.
Add support for Fedora's dhclient's built-in RFC3442 classless static
routes format.
Since the Fedora format uses the same name as the dhcpcd format, we
need to refactor a bunch of the code to ensure we can distinguish
between the types. Do this at runtime now by consolidating the
classless static routes parsing code into the DHCP Client base class
and rework the unit tests so that we can test all variations of the
classless static route parsing code at the same time.
This also fixes a bug with the dhcpcd classless static route
gateway handling that would return the wrong gateway address.
Many thanks to Jiri Popelka from Red Hat for the initial patch
and explanations.
Everyone uses pm-utils still for sleep/wake support, and that's
traditionally how NM was put to sleep and woken up. But pm-utils
uses dbus-send without --print-reply so dbus-send quits immediately
after sending the message. That doesn't give NM enough time to
get the senders UID and thus validate the request, so the request
gets denied, and sometimes NM stays asleep after the machine is
woken up.
Instead, don't get the sender's UID and try to authorize it, but
just let the request go through. Rely on D-Bus permissions to
make sure that only root can call sleep/wake methods.
