Description Aleksandar Kostadinov 2012-12-12 13:47:21 UTC 
$ firewall-cmd --zone=home --list-all
Error: org.fedoraproject.slip.dbus.service.PolKit.NotAuthorizedException.org.fedoraproject.FirewallD1.config:
Comment 1 Aleksandar Kostadinov 2012-12-12 13:47:43 UTC 
using XFCE if that matters
Comment 2 Petr Sklenar 2012-12-12 15:09:42 UTC 
I could see the same issue when running without X environment:
firewall-cmd --reload
Error: org.fedoraproject.slip.dbus.service.PolKit.NotAuthorizedException.org.fedoraproject.FirewallD1.config: 

it asks for a root password in KDE environment then it shows output.
Comment 3 Thomas Woerner 2012-12-12 15:13:05 UTC 
firewalld is using D-BUS for the communication. If you are not root, you need to authenticate using polkit.
Comment 4 Aleksandar Kostadinov 2012-12-12 15:38:07 UTC 
Thanks, starting the /usr/libexec/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 with XFCE makes the problem disappear.

closing as NOTABUG

Petr, a workaround from non-X environment is to use sudo... just FYI
