Description of Problem: If you run neat from the "default" directory, it makes the directory inaccesible (ls returns nothing, attempts to write the directory fail). Sometimes, the problem is accompanied by this error: shell-init: could not get current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory the error occurs sometimes when programs try to access the directory, and sometimes is output by neat as it closes. How Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run neat from the /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default 2. exit neat 3. Note the errors, ls can't list the directory, etc. 4. recover by backing out of the directory and then going back in. Actual Results: directory is inaccessible Expected Results: neat should not have an effect on any directory, although this one seems to be special (the problem only occurs in this directory) -- it may not be neat causing the problem, it might be something in the shell responding to a command issued by neat. Additional Information:
The profile system is currently being adjusted.
This happens because when you press the OK button the configuration directory /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles will be recreated. The problem is that it is not know wether new profiles had been added by hand while neat was running, so we basically have to recreate the subdirectories there. Agreed, default could stay, but all others need to be recreated. Everything else leads to extreme madness. I will fix it sothat it won't touch the default profile as that has to be always there.

This defect is considered SHOULD-FIX for Fairfax.
Fixed in CVS.
