This is a resubmission of the subset of the patches that were not accepted in an earlier submission. The main objection last time was that the KVP daemon code invoked external scripts for some of the operations and that I had not included those scripts in the patchset. This current approach of not encumbering the KVP daemon code with Distro specific details was discussed on this mailing list and here is the summary: 1) Using Network Manager APIs in the KVP daemon code directly would minimize environments where KVP functionality could be deployed since Network Manager is not available in all of the Distro images of interest; especially server images. 2) The current architecture of invoking external scripts for what is essentially a distro specific operation retains full flexibility of deploying KVP on all Distros of interest while not sacrificing our ability to use Network Manager APIs. For instance a Distro could choose to implement these external scripts using NM AMPIs. In this patchset I have included the external scripts that I had used to test the KVP functionality as example scripts. These are meant as just examples. K. Y.
