From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020513 Description of problem: Changing to a static IP address and choosing primary and secondary DNS using /usr/bin/neat removes read permission for others on /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/hosts. This prevents DNS from working and causes problems where the IP address of localhost cannot be looked up. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Start /usr/bin/neat 2.In the Devices tab, edit the eth0 device, setting all field for a "Satically set IP address" and clicking on "OK" and then applying the changes. 3.In the DNS tab, set primary and secondary DNS IP addresses and apply the changes. Actual Results: 1.In a terminal window, type "dig". It will not work because read permission for general users has been removed on /etc/resolv.conf. 2.Read permission for general users on /etc/hosts has also been removed. Expected Results: Read permission for "others" should be set on both /etc/resolve.conf and /etc/hosts after running /usr/bin/neat and setting a static IP address. Additional info:
fixed in CVS... thx
1.10.11 has been built
This bug also appears under RedHat 8.0, which has redhat-config-network-1.1.20-1. Could you please propagate the change to Redhat 8.0? Each time I change something in neat is makes /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/hosts readable to root and root group only, breaking all network connectivity.
