If you are running system-config-firewall as root, then you are using the direct machine mode and not the D-BUS interface. Are you using GNOME or another desktop? Please add the output of ck-list-sessions.

ok now
I have this issue on production Fed 14 2.6.35.6-48.fc14.x86_64 #1 authenticating an LDAP user. Using GNOME bash-4.1$ ck-list-sessions Session2: unix-user = '11121' realname = 'Craig ----' seat = 'Seat1' session-type = '' active = TRUE x11-display = ':0' x11-display-device = '/dev/tty1' display-device = '' remote-host-name = '' is-local = TRUE on-since = '2010-11-11T18:34:30.555199Z' login-session-id = '3' Workaround is to run it in a root session. I have a similar issue running virt-manager per bug 579579 which also uses the same auth system. This bug seems to be the same as 575191 and 621441
There seems to be a polkit problem. what is the output of "ps axwww | grep polkit" ?
bash-4.1$ ps axwww | grep polkit 1325 ? Sl 0:00 /usr/libexec/polkit-1/polkitd 3101 ? Sl 0:00 /usr/libexec/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 3298 ? Sl 0:00 /usr/libexec/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 4651 pts/0 S+ 0:00 grep polkit
The gui is now correctly asking me for my root credentials after the splash message. I do however have the following set: <defaults> <allow_any>auth_admin</allow_any> <allow_inactive>auth_admin</allow_inactive> <allow_active>auth_admin_keep</allow_active> </defaults> in /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.fedoraproject.config.firewall.policy though it may also have come about following recent updates though polkit hasn't been updated.
I have exactly the same case as in the bug 657020. In my "default" installation of F14 I have: # tail /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.fedoraproject.config.firewall.policy <defaults> <allow_any>no</allow_any> <allow_inactive>no</allow_inactive> <allow_active>auth_admin_keep</allow_active> </defaults> </action> Changing the settings to: <defaults> <allow_any>auth_admin</allow_any> <allow_inactive>auth_admin</allow_inactive> <allow_active>auth_admin_keep</allow_active> </defaults> brings s-c-f back to work. Thank you.
Umm... No. Sorry. Even it is enabled now, s-c-f does not work after all. Any attempt to change settings in s-c-f is followed by a request to authenticate again, followed by a lengthy error messages with the common org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied sence with the looped-redo-quit state, and finally followed by a new SELinux security alert. BTW SELinux Troubleshooter doesn't start either.
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached 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 to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. 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: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
