Title:
  NetworkManager asks non-administrative user for the PIN even though
  it's in the system-connections file

Status in NetworkManager:
  Unknown
Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: network-manager

  I've configured a system-wide 3g broadband connection.
  In fact it's there a file with all the provided details in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ .
  If I switch (log-out + log-in) to a non-administrative user, as soon as I plug the USB 3G modem I get asked the modem PIN.
  This is included into the mentioned file.
  The objective is to allow a "normal" user to connect with the modem with out the knowledge of username, password and PIN.
  The defails follow.

  $ lsb_release -a
  No LSB modules are available.
  Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
  Description:	Ubuntu 10.10
  Release:	10.10
  Codename:	maverick

  How to reproduce the bug:
  1. Log in as an administrative user (the first one you create at installation time)
  2. Plug the USB 3G modem into a port
  3. Go to System-->Preferences-->Newtwork Connections-->Mobile Broadband
  4. Fill all the needed details (as well as the PIN)
  5. Check "Automatically connect" and "Available to all users"
  6. Test the connection is working.
  7. Check the file in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/
  8. Reboot (maybe just logout and long is enough)
  9. Log in as the administrative user
  10. Plug the USB modem

  What happens
  The system asks for the PIN. You can ignore this request. Then you can go to the
  netowrk icon and select the broadband connection and click it. This time the PIN
  is not required and the connection fires up.

  What is expected to happen
  No PIN is required at the modem insertion and the connection fires up automatically.

  Extra steps.
  11. Create another non administrative user which is capable to connect through modems (groups dialout and dip).
  12. Switch to this new user
  13. Plug the USB modem.

  What happens
  The system asks for aìthe PIN. You cannot ignore this request.
