From a813be071ceed15b9238373bd751ee99e2470357 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Martin Weinelt Date: Wed, 26 Jan 2022 15:04:03 +0100 Subject: nixos/polkit: don't enable by default SUID wrappers really shouldn't be enabled by default, unless a consumer relies on them. So in my opinion this falls upon the desktop environments if needed or a user to explicltly enable this if wanted. Most desktop environments and services like CUPS already enable polkit by default, that should really be sufficient. --- nixos/doc/manual/from_md/release-notes/rl-2205.section.xml | 8 ++++++++ nixos/doc/manual/release-notes/rl-2205.section.md | 2 ++ 2 files changed, 10 insertions(+) (limited to 'nixos/doc') diff --git a/nixos/doc/manual/from_md/release-notes/rl-2205.section.xml b/nixos/doc/manual/from_md/release-notes/rl-2205.section.xml index 9f5279732fe..437c78119d6 100644 --- a/nixos/doc/manual/from_md/release-notes/rl-2205.section.xml +++ b/nixos/doc/manual/from_md/release-notes/rl-2205.section.xml @@ -721,6 +721,14 @@ tmux. + + + The polkit service, available at + security.polkit.enable, is now disabled by + default.
