From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.5 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020809 Description of problem: My /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth0 file was mode 600, when applying new settings in neat, it asked to change this to 644, i clicked "yes", however it really didn't change the permissions on the file. neat kept asking to change it to 644, but always failed to actually do so. i manually chmod 644 the file and neat stop asking. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. chmod 600 /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth0 2. neat -> change something -> apply 3. click "yes" when it asks to change the permissions on the above file to 644 4. the permissions remain the same Actual Results: the permissions remain the same Expected Results: permissions change to 644 Additional info:
For me, changing anything with neat resets the permissions on /etc/hosts and /etc/resolv.conf to 600, so no programs trying to access netwok work anymore (if run as normal user).
I should add to the previous statement that it happends when I run the network utility from the menu, and it asks for the root password. I could not reproduce it when running from command line, as root.
ok, additionally, neat should set umask(0644)
