From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020830 Description of problem: When redhat-config-network is used to modify settings after the first install (launched from KDE in user mode), it writes the files /etc/hosts /etc/resolv.conf with owner root and permission 600. This causes DNS lookup for the user to fail (other things may fail as well). WORKAROUND: after using redhat-config-network, su to root, and manually change the permissions to 644. A very irritating bug (took long to figure out until I noticed that DNS _did_ work for root). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Use redhat-config-network from user. 2.Modify the IP address, or something in the DNS entries, causing redhat-config-network to re-write /etc/hosts and /etc/resolv.conf 3.Try to ping a host whose IP address is not known to the machine.
