Mike, Thanks. I resolved it. Should you ever need it: fc15/16 Network Connections GUI has a check box in the lower left corner. If it is unchecked, the NetworkManager will drop the connection after logout. If you need a permanent connection, it has to be checked. It seems that with this option enabled, any user can fiddle with the network setup, but I have not tested it yet. I have just several disciplined users.

Usually in the past (well for me always in the past once NM was fully operational) you can go to edit connections in NM, and make sure that the particular connection has its check box checked for making that connection system-wide. Then the connection is active as soon as the system boots irrespective of whether any user is logged in. So for the default wired connection you can do this, as well as for any wireless connection also. Unless things have changed very recently this has always worked just fine (at least for several years anyway) -- mike c -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
