Why do you say that? Again, you demonstrated that it *does* work. You just want to be able to use ifup and ifdown as a user and that isn't going to work, no matter what options you set.
Right....
When it comes to Network Manager.....
If the connection has....
connection.autoconnect: yes
connection.permissions: --
The connection will be activated at boot time and any user can up/down with nmcli.
[maria@f32k ~]$ nmcli connection down enp1s0
Connection 'enp1s0' successfully deactivated (D-Bus active path: /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/3)
[maria@f32k ~]$ nmcli connection up enp1s0
Connection successfully activated (D-Bus active path: /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/6).
User maria is not in the wheel group.
But, if the connection has
connection.autoconnect: yes
connection.permissions: user:egreshko
Then we see this when maria tries things....
[egreshko@f32k ~]$ nmcli connection show enp1s0 | grep perm
connection.permissions: user:egreshko
[maria@f32k ~]$ nmcli connection show enp1s0 | grep perm
Error: enp1s0 - no such connection profile.
So, only egreshko has access to that profile. User maria can't even list it.
Things can get a "bit" complicated/confusing if the connection is a Wifi connection if one picks a password
access which conflict with the connection settings. For example, if the connection.permissions is blank
but the password has been saved for use by only egreshko then maria can down the connection but
maria won't be able to activate/up it.
I also don't use the ifup/down commands but I do seem to recall some folks having "issues" with that
when they also had network-scripts installed and /etc/alternatives link pointed to the one they weren't
expecting.
Thank you!
$ nmcli connection show eno2 | grep perm
connection.permissions: --
What does "--" mean?
