Re: file location of VPN config

[Michael Irons <mail ferrorum org>]

Thanks again for the quick reply, Lamarque.
Basically, I'm trying to get round the problem you highlighted here
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=295468.

Since there's no way of doing it through nm-applet or the plasmoid,
I'm trying to edit the connection file manually, then start it through
nmcli.

For the user to update the file in
/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/, I have to chmod it.  That
works, but nmcli doesn't pickup the changes when it dsplays the
connection dialog.
After a network-manager restart, the connection disappears.

It seems this happens when the file permissions change.

Is there a better method of changing the 'Xauth username' through a script?

Cheers

Mike
