Hi, I use ------------------------- snip ------------------------- [~]$ systemd --version systemd 252 (252.1-1) +PAM +AUDIT +SELINUX +APPARMOR +IMA +SMACK +SECCOMP +GCRYPT -GNUTLS +OPENSSL +ACL +BLKID +CURL +ELFUTILS +FIDO2 +IDN2 -IDN +IPTC +KMOD +LIBCRYPTSETUP +LIBFDISK +PCRE2 -PWQUALITY -P11KIT +QRENCODE +TPM2 +BZIP2 +LZ4 +XZ +ZLIB +ZSTD -BPF_FRAMEWORK -XKBCOMMON +UTMP +SYSVINIT default-hierarchy=unified [~]$ uname -a Linux sappc1 6.0.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.0.8-1 (2022-11-11) x86_64 GNU/Linux ------------------------- snip ------------------------- on Debian testing. Without Gnome, if that matters, but rather with lightdm and fvwm3. The following works as expected: ------------------------- snip ------------------------- [~]$ systemd-run --scope -p IPAddressDeny=any /bin/bash ==== AUTHENTICATING FOR org.freedesktop.systemd1.manage-units ==== Authentication is required to manage system services or other units.
