Hi Ralph,

Your problem is a result of the change of the default shell for user
daemon.   I missed one of the su calls when I fixed #734719.

As a temporary workaround apply the following patch to
/usr/sbin/distributed-net-config (or edit the script by hand):

I will get a new version, with the fix uploaded in the near future.
