Description Telsa Gwynne 2002-03-25 12:05:01 UTC
Description of Problem:

Selected Network Management Tool in nautilus. It shows no network devices
configured on the system. Repeated from a terminal with /usr/bin/neat-control
and got same result.

/usr/bin/neat works, though, and shows eth0 quite happily.

redhat-config-network-0.9.18-1

Is still still an issue for you? It works for me (and give 0.9.20-1 a try - you
can find it at http://people.redhat.com/teg/neat/)

It's not a bug. neat-control does not run with SUID as neat does. 
If you run neat-control as normal user and your network config files are only readable for  
root, neat-control cannot access them. It's a reason why neat-control cannot list your  
network.
