Description Dennis Schubert 2012-02-06 09:49:52 UTC 
Description of problem:

I just tried to create a new network with a / in the name. When I clicked save, the system deleted the network, because it's trying to write into a subdirectory of /etc/libvirt/qemu/networks.

I think slashes in the network names are inportant as it's usual to use CIDR-notation like 127.0.0.1/28.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

0.9.8 and 0.8.3

How reproducible:

Create a new network with a / in its name.

Actual results:

No file under /etc/libvirt/qemu/networks is created.

Expected results:

New file under /etc/libvirt/qemu/networks
