I have just cloned the ConnMan repo from http://git.kernel.org/cgit/network/connman/connman.git/ and followed the instructions from the HACKING text file. Basically I've issued the following commands:
# ./bootstrap-configure
# make
According to the text file aforementioned, this should be enough to start the daemon by running:
# sudo ./src/connmand -n
but the following error occurs:
Connection ":1.72" is not allowed to own the service "net.connman" due to security policies in the configuration file
I've looked into the configuration file under src/main.conf, but does not contain anything relevant for this. Has anyone else encountered this problem?
Copy the D-Bus policy file from src/connman-dbus.conf to /etc/dbus-1/system.d so that D-Bus can grant the ownership of net.connman when started as root. A 'make install' installs the policy file, but that was not run in this case.
