The behavior may or may not be intented; regardless, I assert that it is incorrect.
It is not for Network Manager to dictate security policy for files that I have created. The file exists on the system already, so any information leak to other users *has already happened*. If Network Manager wants to enforce permissions on system configs when it /writes/ them, then that's ok with me, but it should not attempt to enforce security *on behalf of the wireless network*, which is not its role and not my concern as a user who created this file. This is a usability problem introduced by inappropriate pseudo-security measures in Network Manager. -- "system"-level connection doesn't start up until nm-applet is launched https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/321442 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
