Tags: +patch 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.
