From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.5 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020809 Description of problem: A non-root user should be able to switch network profiles (in the same way he can activate/deactiveate a network connection) The tools that should provide this feature are: /usr/bin/neat-control /usr/bin/redhat-config-network Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Using redhat-config-netowrk configure eth0 (say wireless pcmcia card), create 2 profiles. create a copy of eth0 configuration with different wireless settings, and then enable eth0-Home for Home profile and ethh0-Work for Work profile. 2.enable 'Allow Users to enable/diable this device' in the device properties for both'. 3. Now select Home profile as default The above 3 are done as root 4. Now as a regular user start up /usr/bin/neat-control 5. Now try activating eth0-Home. This works 6. Using the same tool - try activating eth0-Work. This doesn't work Actual Results: 6 - form above doesn't work (because 'root' had selected 'Home' profile as active) Expected Results: should have a way for non-root user to switch profiles. Additional info: Perhaps redhat-config-network can have the following function - A checkbox - next to profiles - which indicates "Enable user to switch profiles' When this checkbox is enabled - neat-control shows an option to switch profiles (when invoked by non-root user)
