Why does system-config-firewall not prompt for authorization on VNC or NX session, and fails results with PolKit.NotAuthorizedException permission error ?
Issue
-
When trying to run system-config-firewall from a remote machine fails, displaying a dialog with error:
org.fedoraproject.slip.dbus.service.PolKit.NotAuthorizedException.org.fedoraproject.config.firewall.auth: -
There is no request for the root password to authenticate. system-config-firewall works properly on a local session.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
- system-config-firewall-1.2.27-3.el6_0.2
