The other is a systray applet that users can use to interact with the NetworkManager daemon. Security ~~~~~~~~ To allow users to connect to the NetworkManager daemon they have to be in the group "netdev". If you want to add a user to group "netdev" use the command "adduser username netdev" or one of the graphical user management frontends. After that you have to reload D-Bus with the command "/etc/init.d/dbus reload". --Grant -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
