Public bug reported:
I don't know if it is a bug or feature. But if it is a feature, I think
it's a secruity hole. Right now it is possible in Ubuntu Edgy Eft to
open network-admin with user rights and change the network settings.
Just open network-admin out of the settings-menu or type
# network-admin
inside a shell. After you changed some settings you'll find the changes
inside /etc/network/interfaces. I don't think this is a good thing. My
network-admin version is
# network-admin --version
Gnome network-admin 2.15.5
The rights on my interfaces file are set to the defaults
# ls -al /etc/network/interfaces
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 282 2006-10-03 15:58 /etc/network/interfaces
The problem could be reproduced on two different systems.
