Description Micah Abbott 2019-10-29 19:02:20 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1766739 +++

In BZ#1766161, the following was reported

(2019-10-29 15:13:10,455 root         ERROR    NM main-loop aborted: Connection update failed: error=nm-settings-error-quark: failed to update connection: Could not open file '/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ens3' for writing: Permission denied (3), dev=ens3/<enum NM_DEVICE_STATE_ACTIVATED of type NM.DeviceState>)

Additional investigation via Slack found:

```

We need to relabel the ifcfg files that get persisted as part of ignition-dracut
Comment 1 Micah Abbott 2019-10-29 19:03:15 UTC 
Cloned to 4.2.z in case we want to ship updated boot images.
Comment 2 Colin Walters 2020-01-31 21:20:09 UTC 
I think anyone hitting this should now install 4.3.  We can reopen if someone else complains.
