Well, when you setup a network connection with network-manager, that connection's settings get stored in one of two places, depending on whether or not the connection is marked as "Availabe to all users". If a connection is not "available to all users" (i.e. it's just for one user), then nm-applet does indeed store them in gconf under '/system/networking/connections', as you've suspected. To transfer gconf data, you may find the gconftool-2 utility helpful. This thread has a bit of info on backing up and restoring gconf data: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gconf-list/2005-February/msg00000.html However, if the connection is "available to all users" (i.e. it's system-wide), then network-manager stores it somewhere under /etc. The exact location largely depends on which distribution you're using. (This is because N-M tries to cooperate with older-style networking scripts that distros have.) For example, on Debian (and Debian derivatives, such as Ubuntu), settings are stored under /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ My guess is that many of the connection settings you want to copy over are stored system-wide, so copying over .gconf/system/networking/connections won't get those. What distro are you using? Let's see if we can help. :) Have a good one, Daniel _______________________________________________ networkmanager-list mailing list networkmanager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
