Hi,
I plan to switch the DBus system bus away from the "permissive"
release to the one which closes
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18229
relatively soon in the Fedora 11 tree.
I've been going through bugzillas and getting policies upstream for a
while, and I think the vast majority of things are fixed now. The
permissive mode has been in rawhide for some time, and will have been
generating messages of the form:
Feb 2 12:17:38 space-ghost dbus: Rejected send message, 20
matched rules; type="method_return", sender=":1.19" (uid=0 pid=2863
comm="/usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wp")
interface="(unset)" member="(unset)" error name="(unset)"
requested_reply=0 destination=":1.18" (uid=0 pid=2852
comm="NetworkManager --pid-file=/var/run/NetworkManager/"))
in syslog. If you're seeing these and I didn't find your bugzilla,
and don't know how to fix, please ask for help at
dbus@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx or #dbus on Freenode.
This is a useful chunk of work that:
- touches lots of packages,
- helps upstream,
- potentially breaks things
- may need a contingency plan
Should it thus be a "feature" ("ImprovedDBusSecurity"?), so that:
- it can be mentioned in release notes
- can involve the Fedora QA team e.g. have a test day
- can be mentioned in community marketing of Fedora
etc?
Hope this helps
Dave
Yes, please fill out a feature page. There's still time before feature
freeze next Tuesday! Let me know if you need assistance.
