-nm-priv-helper
-==============
-
-This is a D-Bus activatable, exit-on-idle service, which
-provides an internal API to NetworkManager daemon.
-
-This has no purpose for the user, it is an implementation detail
-of the daemon.
-
-The purpose is that `nm-priv-helper` can execute certain
-privileged operations which NetworkManager process is not
-allowed to. We want to sandbox NetworkManager as much as
-possible, and nm-priv-helper provides a controlled way to
-perform some very specific operations.
-
-As such, nm-priv-helper should still be sandboxed too to only
-being able to execute the operations that are necessary for
-NetworkManager.
-
-nm-priv-helper will reject all D-Bus requests that are not
-originating from the current name owner of
-"org.freedesktop.NetworkManager".  That is, it is supposed to
-only reply to NetworkManager daemon and as such is not useful to
-the user directly.
