That may work - IF you create a connection from scratch. People mostly does not do this and I am not going to require my users to learn how to do this either.
The normal way of connecting with wireless is to select a connection from the list. If this is a "secure" connection the user is required to provide a password. There are no options "Available to all users" in that dialog and if you do not have rights in org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.system you will not be able to create that connection. And the behaviour you describe is also not what I experience. I created a wireless connection and removed "Available to all user". NM still stores the password in /etc. IT just adds another option which tells who can user it: [connection] id=test uuid=8e585656-1ca1-42a2-8172-8341a1d052c5 type=802-11-wireless permissions=user:ism001:; [802-11-wireless] ssid=test mode=infrastructure mac-address=08:11:96:C2:02:B4 security=802-11-wireless-security [802-11-wireless-security] key-mgmt=wpa-eap wep-key-flags=1 psk-flags=1 leap-password-flags=1 [ipv4] method=auto [ipv6] method=auto [802-1x] eap=peap; identity=username phase2-auth=mschapv2 password=mypassword password-raw-flags=1 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1060907 Title: NetworkManager stores wifi passwords in plain text To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1060907/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
