Description:
when I try to connect to wifi, networknamager configures my wlan0(wifi settings) interface and after that it starts determination of IP address(dhcp). while that dhcpcd writes about error to the log (permission denied) and exits whith exitcode 1 later.
dhcpcd also writes the same error for eth0 device.

Additional info:
wifi config(at AP):
encryption type: "WPA/WPA2 Personal"
encryption version: "WPA-PSK" (if WPA2-PSK, dhcpcd also write some errors to the log but other is OK)
passphrase: "13 pixels."
package versions:
dhcpcd=5.6.0
networkmanager=0.9.4(extra),0.9.6(testing)
kdeplasma-applets-networkmanagement=1:0.9.0.2(extra),1:0.9.0.4(testing)

Looking at your logs, it appears that dhcpcd is not started as root. Do you run this daemon by hand or from some script or something?

Besides that, the amount of groups you're member of is insane and totally insecure.

dhcpcd is runned by networkmanager.
networkmanager is runned from /erc/rc.conf (DAEMONS section)

Is this still a problem? Networkmanager now uses dhcp instead of dhcpcd.
Plus no more rc.conf
