Adam,

I've found that by default when I create a user, the checkbox in NetworkManager that says

"All users may connect to this network" is checked!

If I uncheck anyway the network configuration files are in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/

Really I don't understand this behavior (using mate-desktop on F20)



I believe the reason for this is due to various users who have their home directories on network mounted systems (even if only the user is the only one to set up the network connection.) If the data was stored in the home directory then the network could not start to thus mount the home directory to get the account. A similar problem occurs if the /home is encrypted separately from the root partition. 

In general, I just make sure that /root /etc and /home are backed up when I move from OS version to OS version so that I don't lose stuff I might need later.
