From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.7 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20030131 Description of problem: If you edit any network device and save the settings (via 'File/Save') redhat-config-network will reset the passwords of all entries in /etc/ppp/chap-secrets to the value "None". It does not matter whether the modified network device is a PPP / CHAP connection or not. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): redhat-config-network-1.2.3-3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. create a PPP based network device, e.g. xDSL, and save the settings 2. edit any of the available network devices, and save the settings Actual Results: The password of the PPP device in /etc/ppp/chap-secrets has been reset to "None" Expected Results: The password should have kept the original value. Additional info: I'm not sure whether having a default password "None" may pose a security risk, but to be safe I set the severity of this bug to 'security'.
