Yeah, Edit Connections launches the connection editor, a GUI tool which lets you create, edit, and delete network stored connections. These connections need to be stored somewhere of course, and that can either be in your user-specific GConf or the system settings.

The file names aren't important, but the the configuration files built by the keyfile plugin use connection names for file names. Since these files might contain passwords, they have to be owned by root and have 0600 permissions. Attached are two example files, one for ethernet, one for wireless with WPA-PSK security. It should be possible to create/modify/delete keyfile plugin files using the latest SVN nm-applet: when you open a connection properties page in connection-editor, there's a new checkbox System setttings. Checking it will push it to the system settings daemon. The version in SVN is not doing any authentication so everyone can do it, but I have patches to add PolicyKit support for it.

No, the dbus conf file is for dbus permissions. There isn't a shipped config file for the settings service. Basically, just make one up that has: [main] plugins=keyfile and point the system settings service to that. You then get to actually create the connection files, which by default are in /etc/NetworkManager/system_config/ and look like normal .ini files. I should get Tambet to mail you a sample file or something, it's a bit long to explain there. But Tambet will also soon land the connection editing patches so that you could use nm-connection-editor to add/create/delete system connections instead of writing them in a text editor. dan ___ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list

Is NetworkManager ready for servers with may interfaces?
Hi, I would like to know if NM is recomended for servers with many network interfaces. I have some server and developer PCs width many network connections, I sometimes need to shutdown some connection and avoid it to come up again automatically on reboot (which seems to be the default NM behavior) Where can I found detailed configuration documentation?
