Same problem for me. It causes several applications to start malfunctioning.

Comment 3 Tom "spot" Callaway 2007-11-17 16:49:12 UTC
Just for clarification, does this happen when you run "sudo
/usr/bin/wlassistant" or when you run /usr/sbin/wlassistant, and let pam take
care of the permissions?

There are new packages for F-7 here (they'll be in updates-testing on the next
push):
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F7/pending/wlassistant-0.5.7-5.fc7

Upgrade to wlassistant-0.5.7-5.fc7, and try just running /usr/sbin/wlassistant
(this is also how it is called from the desktop menu) without sudo.

Comment 4 Tom "spot" Callaway 2008-01-02 21:10:25 UTC
Closing this one. Reopen if the updated wlassistant doesn't work (don't run it
with sudo, just run it.)
