Little-known thing, wpa_supplicant can work with wired networks too (-Dwired). If everyone on the network has to know the WPA encryption passphrase to even talk that is going to cause trouble for MAC-fondlers and other scoundrels. You use hostap on one box for the others to authenticate against, a sort of wired "access point". Of course, it doesn't necessarily help much if mortal users (or they are root themselves) can read /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf and see your keys... -Andy -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
