But really what I want is a "condstart", e.g. a "start if not already started" feature to the initscripts. Unfortunately this doesn't exist. There's condrestart, but that's not quite what I want. > I've noticed a few of these too, I've spoken with Dan Walsh (an SELinux guy > at > Red Hat) and he's aware that we need more finely tuned policy for > NetworkManager. Cool. I was going to send Dan mail about it, but clearly you've already done so :) OH, another thing I noticed today -- I just swapped over from wireless to wired, and I was having problems with DHCP on the wired network... And NetworkManager died. I don't have a core file anywhere, so I don't know HOW it died.. But I was able to repeat this a couple times in a row.
