What would be nice would be if the admin could add NM settings in YaST and then be clearly be presented with a choice to store these as system settings, default for all users, or apply them to a subset of users - what do you think of that?
Sounds interesting at first :-) What NM settings would that be?
Just the wireless settings that have to be read by NM.
But this is already done in YaST - write configuration for wireless devices. Am I missing something? Or did you mean some additional informations?
I was responding to Francis' assertion that we don't want NM settings in YaST, "because it confuses users", so that my use case is recorded in the design.
*) We already do this and need this for the use case I posted last night *) It could be made clearer that YaST sets the system defaults for NetworkManager but that each user can add his/her own networks *) It might be nice (but not very realistic) to be able to also pre-set users' NM settings via YaST - write ~/.kde/share/config/knetworkmanagerrc and the corresponding gconf keys. Additionally *) NM 0.7 will add support for multiple simultaneously active devices, static IP, and proper PPP device control - therefore much like the non-NM settings we have in Yast now. It will obtain the system's config from a dbus settings service running as root, before a user logs in and adds their own settings. The default implementation of this settings service will probably be a stripped-down nm-applet reading gconf. It would be wise to keep this in mind now when redesigning network config so that you don't have to start from scratch next version.

It seems very cool. Could you write fate-request for this?
