:
:If you believe that ksysguardprocesslist_helper should be allowed lock access on the Trolltech.conf file by default.

Comment 3 Miroslav Grepl 2012-11-26 14:03:10 UTC
Did you log in as root?

Comment 4 Rex Dieter 2012-11-26 14:07:56 UTC
curious, is there a problem or objection to allowing access to stuff under ~root/.config/ policy-wise?

Comment 5 Miroslav Grepl 2012-11-26 14:23:38 UTC
So the /.config/Trolltech.conf is created if a user uses kauth for example to setup date&time?

Just would like know how it works. Thx.

I have no problem to add

optional_policy(`
  gnome_read_home_config(gnomesystemmm_t)
')

Comment 6 Miroslav Grepl 2012-11-26 14:26:31 UTC
Added.

commit 058874eb8f4c9f5733558260a82849fbc560c657
Author: Miroslav Grepl <mgrepl>
Date:   Mon Nov 26 15:25:09 2012 +0100

    Allow ksysguardproces to read /.config/Trolltech.conf

Comment 7 Rex Dieter 2012-11-26 14:45:49 UTC
yes, that file will get created/accessed whenever any privledged helper ( generally matching /usr/libexec/kde4/*helper ) is envoked

Comment 8 ziomaul 2012-11-26 15:22:25 UTC
No, i work as user-mode, Kppp work root mode. 
I use KDE as your desktop and kppp (not networkmanager) for connection modem.
A bug unmanaged kppp obligated to kill process.

"curious, is there a problem or objection to allowing access to stuff under ~root/.config/ policy-wise?" 

Likely.

Post .config/Trolltech.conf

Comment 9 Kevin Kofler 2012-11-27 01:29:01 UTC
> Did you log in as root?

No, he didn't. This is a KAuth helper. KAuth is a wrapper around D-Bus activation and PolicyKit to handle secure privilege escalation. KAuth helpers work just like any other D-Bus-activated PolicyKit mechanisms. So the helper always runs as root.

That's the wrong path, it should be /root/.config/Trolltech.conf (see the file name quoted in the mail's subject). A top-level /.config was accidentally used in the past, but that's a bug which has been fixed.
