Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): NetworkManager-0.8.3.996-1.fc14.i686 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Select Edit Connections from nm-applet context menu 2. Select one of my own VPN or my own auto wireless connections 3. Click edit Actual results: All items on all tabs are grayed out For VPN connections only IPv4 Tab shows up. Expected results: Able to modify appropriate fields All tabs visible for VPN connections Additional info: Only affects entries with secrets stored. An open wireless connection can be edited. System has been updated through many Fedora releases from Fedora 8,9,10,11,12, 13, and now 14.
Downgrading to NetworkManager-0.8.1-9.git20100831.fc14.i686 "fixes", i.e., restores access to those fields in my connections with secrets and also allows the "VPN" tab do be disabled and configurable for VPN connections.
Correction to that last sentence. ... Also allows the "VPN" tab to be *enabled* and configurable...
I am having the same issues listed here (see Bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=681532 ) except I initially had the Password dialogue pop-up, and straight after that received an error message "Error initializing editor 802-11 wireless", and could not edit the settings. After deleting all my entries an recreating them, or allowing the wireless section to auto detect them, I no longer receive a Password dialogue pop-up and still can't edit the settings. Even logging in as root does not enable the fields in the editor.
Trying NetworkManager-0.8.3.997-1.fc14 from Koji seems to bring back the editing functions for everything, but I got the following AVCs when I did the service NetworkManager restart type=AVC msg=audit(1299170145.728:21039): avc: denied { signull } for pid=9899 comm="NetworkManager" scontext=unconfined_u:system_r:NetworkManager_t:s0 tcontext=unconfined_u:system_r:dhcpc_t:s0 tclass=process type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1299170145.728:21039): arch=i386 syscall=kill success=no exit=EACCES a0=1a37 a1=0 a2=8104ad0 a3=1a37 items=0 ppid=1 pid=9899 auid=500 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=1 comm=NetworkManager exe=/usr/sbin/NetworkManager subj=unconfined_u:system_r:NetworkManager_t:s0 key=(null)

Should be fixed by latest update. Can you confirm? As for SElinux error, I think the contexts are not correct (unconfined_u). It should be system_u. Relabelling should help: # /sbin/restorecon -R -v /sbin # /sbin/restorecon -R -v /usr/sbin or whole filesystem # touch /.autorelabel # reboot Links: - http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/SELinux - http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/13/html/Security-Enhanced_Linux/sect-Security-Enhanced_Linux-Troubleshooting-Top_Three_Causes_of_Problems.html - see also bug 681706
I did not experience the SELinux issue after installing NetworkManager-0.8.3.997-1.fc14 from Koji Also, all seems to be okay, I can edit the various fields as required.
