I didn't think bugzilla is used for documentation.
I closed the bug because I knew it was invalid and also, this bug report does
not make any sense. You say:
"Different user logging in has immediate access to previous connection without
being challenged with passphrase for the network."
That sentense would have made sense if the first user had to type in his own
passphrase which would have been then shared with another user. But that's not
the case, NM never asks any secrets from users for system connections. IE, you
noticed the password is not asked in one case but not in the other.
There's no elevation to "System". Yast is used to configure networking for all
users, thus it's a system connection. All the information, including secrets,
from yast is shared by all users (NM or not). So it does not make any sense to
disconnect these connections. If you don't like that behavior, delete the
device configuration in yast and NM will automatically create a user connection
and store it's secrets in gnome keyring and that connection will get
disconnected when you log out.
There's currently no way of telling whether an activated connection is shared
by all users or not from nm-applet. I implemented that in the SVN but can't
include it in opensuse 11.0 anymore, it's too late for adding new features.
