We always build with PolicyKit support enabled, because it has no additional dependencies, beside some D-Bus calls. However, in NetworkManager.conf the user could configure "main.auth-polkit" to disable PolicyKit. However, previously it would only allow to disable PolicyKit while granting access to all users. I think it's useful to have an option that disables PolicyKit and grants access only to root. I think we should not go too far in implementing our own authorization mechanisms beside PolicyKit (e.g. you cannot disable PolicyKit and grant access based on group membership of the user). However, disabling PolicyKit can be useful sometimes, and it's simple to implement a "root-only" setup. Note one change is that when NetworkManager now runs without a D-Bus connection (in initrd), it would deny all non-root requests. Previously it would grant access. I think there should be little difference in practice, because if we have no D-Bus we also don't have any requests to authenticate. |
