Looks like there may indeed be a way to use this to read a properly formatted ini file meant to be read only by root. My understanding is that otherwise g_key_file_load_from_file will "simply" fail to parse the ini file, with whatever other implications that entails. NM would then be tricked into logging this data in syslog.

I think it's also not required at this time to be root to call that DBus method:
+ <policy context="default">
+ <deny own="com.canonical.NMOfono"/>
+ <allow send_destination="com.canonical.NMOfono"/>
+ </policy>
... Which is something that should be tested and changed if possible.
