Description of problem: When starting the Samba configuration utility as a non-root user, no attempt is made to either acquire root permissions or elevate the user. Unable to configure Samba unless you are root. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): system-config-samba-1.2.100-2.fc20.noarch How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Samba and system-config-samba 2. Attempt to start Samba from the DE menu panel. 3. Attempt to start system-config-samba from the command line with sudo. Actual results: An window pops up with this error: The authorization needed for 'org.fedoraproject.config.samba.configure' could not be obtained. The application will exit now. Expected results: With wheel users, the application should start. With users not in wheel, should ask for password for sudo access. From command line, when started with sudo, should start with no further authentication interaction required. Additional info: system-config-samba is installed as a default package with the smb-server group. If the menu option is added to the user's menu, that user should be able to run the application. If normal users can't run s-c-samba, don't put it in the menu.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '20'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.
