The answer to why nmcli works for a user while the other 2 shell scripts fails was alluded to by "Tom H". (Of course there really is only 1 shell script). The answer is polkit. If you were to enable logging/debugging for polkit you'd get Jul 03 13:03:19 f32k.greshko.com dbus-broker[678]: A security policy denied :1.70 to send method call /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Settings:org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.Settings.LoadConnections to :1.13. which coincides with the first command (nmcli connection load) in the shell scripts. -- The key to getting good answers is to ask good questions. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
