Description of problem:
When using LXDM as Login-Manager, nm-applet will not start. 
When trying to start it manually from console, it returns 

** (nm-applet:2909): WARNING **: <WARN>  request_name(): Could not acquire the NetworkManagerUserSettings service.
  Error: (9) Connection ":1.70" is not allowed to own the service "org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings" due to security policies in the configuration file

when using GDM or KDM, nm-applet will start without problem.

nm-manager is running, as the preferred wireless network is actually activated.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
lxdm-0.1.1-0.2.20100303gite4f7b39.fc11.i586 from update
selinux-policy-3.6.12-95.fc11.noarch

How reproducible:
Use LXDM, try to start nm-applet

Steps to Reproduce:
1. change Login-manager to LXDM via /etc/sysconfig/desktop
2. login as normal user
3. 
  
Actual results:
nm-applet will not start, with above error message

Expected results:
nm-applet should start

Additional info:
after reading #553622 I checked the context of user processes after login. When using LXDM, all processes of the user run with a context of initrc_t.

When using GDM the processus run as unconfined_t

So this seems to be a selinux issue.

I update selinux-policy to latest version available, rebooted with autorelabel, still the same behaviour.

Comment 1 Christoph Wickert 2010-03-15 16:07:20 UTC
Can you please check if your /etc/pam.d/lxdm is up to date or if there is a lxdm.rpmnew file instead? /etc/pam.d/lxdm should look like this:

#%PAM-1.0
auth     [success=done ignore=ignore default=bad] pam_selinux_permit.so
auth       required    pam_succeed_if.so user != root quiet
auth       required    pam_env.so
auth       substack    system-auth
auth       optional    pam_gnome_keyring.so
account    required    pam_nologin.so
account    include     system-auth
password   include     system-auth
session    required    pam_selinux.so close
session    required    pam_loginuid.so
session    optional    pam_console.so
session    required    pam_selinux.so open
session    optional    pam_keyinit.so force revoke
session    required    pam_namespace.so
session    optional    pam_gnome_keyring.so auto_start
session    include     system-auth 

Does rpm -V lxdm return something?

Comment 2 clepper 2010-03-15 17:04:19 UTC
/etc/pam.d/lxdm is exactly as you describe.

rpm -V lxdm gives

S.5....T.  c /etc/lxdm/lxdm.conf

and
 ls -l /etc/lxdm 
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root  294 11. Mär 21:16 lxdm.conf
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root  306  8. Feb 22:15 lxdm.conf.rpmsave
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 1154 28. Feb 15:53 Xsession

in lxdm.conf.rpmsave I changed simply 
last_session=LXDE.desktop

this shouldn't have anyeffect on the context, IMHO.

Comment 3 Christoph Wickert 2010-03-15 20:52:40 UTC
Right. On the other hand I don't see what could be wrong with the pam file. I have exactly the same file and I have no problems on Fedora 12.

Comment 4 clepper 2010-03-16 13:44:45 UTC
Might there be a difference in the PAM-stack between F12 et F11? My system is fc11, installed from the LXDE-live CD.

Comment 5 Christoph Wickert 2010-03-19 23:16:15 UTC
Huh? There is no F11 LXDE livecd.

Comment 6 clepper 2010-03-22 08:46:10 UTC
Well, I got one from here:

http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/remixes/LXDE/

And it was working nicely - as long as you use GDM :-(

Comment 9 Christoph Wickert 2010-04-05 22:02:15 UTC
This is fixed in the new version, but it wont build on F11 due to an outdated glibc version. I'm inclined to withdraw the F11 update and return to 0.1.0 as it is a stable version and it works. The update for F11 is not really necessary as the selinux issues are fixed in the latest policy. Or do I miss something?

Comment 12 clepper 2010-04-11 10:13:43 UTC
Well, I downgraded to 0.1.0, and nm-applet is still not starting.

when I am trying to start manually, I get:

cl@etienne:~> nm-applet 

** (nm-applet:2629): WARNING **: <WARN>  request_name(): Could not acquire the NetworkManagerUserSettings service.
  Error: (9) Connection ":1.29" is not allowed to own the service "org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings" due to security policies in the configuration file

So the fundamental problem persists for me, sadly. 

Additionally, the language selection on the login-screen is not working (the list stays blank) in this version, but this is a minor issue, which is resolved in 0.1.1

From all this, do I have to conclude that this bug will not be further resolved in fc11?

Comment 13 Bug Zapper 2010-04-28 11:57:14 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 11.  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 WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '11'.

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 prior to Fedora 11's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 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 please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

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.

The process we are following is described here:
