redhat-control-network or redhat-config-network ??? If you start redhat-control-network as a normal user, it should display all interfaces it can read... redhat-config-network should be run as root in every case... The problem is in redhat-control-network as a normal user. Someone at the mailing list asked me if I had /usr/sbin in my path. I don't have /usr/sbin at all in my path here is what prints printenv PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/home/santiago/bin I tried to put /usr/sbin in my path and everything is fine. I'm not running it right now, so please tell me if you need more info |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030703 Description of problem: When I try to start it as a normal user, there are 3 messages that say: redhat-config-network: Error copying //etc/hosts to //etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles//default/hosts: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '//etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles//default/hosts'! redhat-config-network: Error copying //etc/resolv.conf to //etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles//default/resolv.conf: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '//etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles//default/resolv.conf'! redhat-config-network: Please start redhat-config-network with root permissions once! If I start it as root, everything starts fine. The launcher doesn't ask for a root password when is executed by a normal user. After I run it as root, the same errors keep appearing but at least it shows the network interfaces. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open Menu - System Tools - Network Device Control as a normal user 2. 3. Additional info:
