Description Jiri Kastner 2011-06-07 09:57:43 UTC 
Description of problem:
gnome mounts under logged user $HOME/.gvfs gvfs file system, which is accessible only by logged user. if there is logged root user, disk usage probe fails due permission denied on /root/.gvfs.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
satellite 5.4.1

How reproducible:
when root is running gnome session

Steps to Reproduce:
1. enable monitoring on satellite
2. enable monitoring scout on satellite
3. on client install rhnmd
4. register client to satellite
5. on system create disk usage probes, one for root and one for home (when necessary) interval 1 min.
6. on client install vnc server and whole GNOME Desktop Env. group
7. login as root to client and run vncpasswd and vncserver
8. if necessary edit /root/.vnc/xstartup to launch gnome session
9. vncserver -kill :1
10. on webui push monitoring scout
11. wait when monitoring tab on system shows some status
12. when there is no waiting probe, go to client and run vncserver under root
13. check probe status

  
Actual results:
Status:	UNKNOWN, Command failed with status 1: /bin/df: `/root/.gvfs': Permission denied

Expected results:
Status: CRITICAL, GOOD, etc... some known status
