From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021218 Description of problem: I'm not sure under which component this bug belongs, but I guess /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/* would fall under initscripts. Sorry if that is not the case. This bug effects both RH8.0 and phoebe. When configuring a wireless network adapter using redhat-config-network it asks for such values as the ESSID and secret WEP KEY The problem is that the KEY gets written to the respective ifcfg-eth* file as a key= value and this file is readable to every user on the system. e.g. on my system eth1 is my wireless adapter, and the file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 has the following permissions: -rw-r--r-- 3 root root 298 Dec 23 22:25 ifcfg-eth1 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.setup wireless networking with WEP enabled 2. 3.
