PolicyKit.IsProcessAuthorized

[Michael Wagner]

Dear List,

it seems as if selinux intercepts dbus calls to policykit:


getenforce ->  Enforcing:

dbus-send --system --dest=org.freedesktop.PolicyKit --print-reply /
org.freedesktop.PolicyKit.IsProcessAuthorized
string:org.freedesktop.policykit.read uint32:$$ boolean:true
Error org.freedesktop.PolicyKit.GeneralError: Error getting information about
pid 3975: (null): (null)


getenforce ->  Permissive:

dbus-send --system --dest=org.freedesktop.PolicyKit --print-reply /
org.freedesktop.PolicyKit.IsProcessAuthorized
string:org.freedesktop.policykit.read uint32:$$ boolean:true
method return sender=:1.157 ->  dest=:1.156 reply_serial=2
    string "auth_admin_keep_always"


Is this behavior intentional?

Michael
