Description of problem:
I recently used up2date in gnome on RH9 and updated redhat-config-network to
version 1.2.15 (this may or may not be related to the problem).

Now, whenever I run the rcn tool as non-root user, I get the following warning:


redhat-config-network:

Error copying 
//etc/hosts
to //etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles//default/hosts:
[Errno 13] Permission denied: '//etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles//default/hosts'!


This does not occur if I'm in Gnome as root user. Note though, if I just click
OK at this warning, it dissappears and the rcn tool and associated network
devices appear to operate fine (its damn annoying though).

I can see its somehow related to permissions and network configuration profiles.
I found a similar bug that came up with the same warning (amongst others),
bugzilla'd at 84752 (perhaps unrelated tho), but that was apparently fixed back
in phoebe.

Any help/ideas would be great. Thanks.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
redhat-config-network-1.2.15-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Log in to Gnome on rh9 as non-root user
2.Open up redhat-network-config 1.2.15
3.Voila
    

Actual Results:  Got the following warning box:

redhat-config-network:

Error copying 
//etc/hosts
to //etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles//default/hosts:
[Errno 13] Permission denied: '//etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles//default/hosts'!

It is possible to click OK in the box, and the tool and network devices appear
to operate normally though.

Expected Results:  Before, The warning box never appeared and rcn tool just
opened straight up.

Additional info:

I found a similarish report containing the same warning (amongst others),
bugzilla'd at 84752 (perhaps unrelated tho), but that was apparently fixed back
in phoebe.
