Hi,
The move from wicked to NetworkManager as default for everything during the last months revealed some (welcomed) side effects: since several weeks sysconfig-netconfig is no longer installed on a fresh default installation.
Hello Thorsten,
sorry I can't read the whole mail at the moment. But an answer would be important to me. But is there a possibility to prevent a manual change? So that only root can enter and change the network configuration. Is it possible to set a fixed IP and network configuration that cannot be changed?
NetworkManager is polkit driven, so who can do what depends on how you configure it. Normally, normal users are not allowed to change network interfaces beside wlan.
I am not talking about WLAN. I want to specify a fixed network configuration. Only this may be used. Nobody from root is allowed to change it. No one is allowed to create an additional one either. Actually like it is usual in a company network.
As I wrote: this is all configureable via polkit and the default.
Do you have a description or links?
I have nothing to do with NetworkManager, but I'm sure there is documentation about how NetworkManager is working, as everybody is using that today.
Okay. Thought since you were sending the mail, you'd have info on it too.
I did send an email about /etc/sysconfig/network and sysconfig-netconfig. Not about the switch to NetworkManager. Which was done long ago and announced as that.
And that everyone uses the networmanager I find a daring thesis.
Ok, I should be more specific as nearly every other Linux Distribution is using it.
But unfortunately reflects the current approach in other areas of SUSE/ openSUSE again.
Are you willing to implement all the support for wicked in all the upstream tools using the network management tools directly? Until now nobody was willing to do so, but telling the people that this tools will never work on openSUSE is also no option. Nothing prevents you to continue to use wicked with netconfig. As written, there are currently no plans to active drop wicked and netconfig, but don't complain if your tool of choice does not work with it together.
Can you probably nothing for. Nevertheless, but very sad.
You can fix it by helping with the development. So don't complain ;) Thorsten
Regards Eric
