No, the dbus conf file is for dbus permissions. There isn't a shipped config file for the settings service. Basically, just make one up that has: [main] plugins=keyfile and point the system settings service to that. You then get to actually create the connection files, which by default are in /etc/NetworkManager/system_config/ and look like normal .ini files. I should get Tambet to mail you a sample file or something, it's a bit long to explain there. But Tambet will also soon land the connection editing patches so that you could use nm-connection-editor to add/create/delete system connections instead of writing them in a text editor. dan _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
