<PRE>'Twas brillig, and Guillaume Rousse at 10/10/12 08:35 did gyre and gimble:
><i> I'm a bit puzzled to discover than network-manager stores its
</I>><i> connections configuration both under
</I>><i> /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ and as legacy ifcfg files under
</I>><i> /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts. Given than both are available
</I>><i> system-wise (by opposition to an user home directory), I don't
</I>><i> understand the purpose of such split.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Moreover, in both cases, secrets are stored in plain-text... I was quite
</I>><i> convinced than gnome keyring was supposed to be used, at least for
</I>><i> user-specific connections. Am I completly wrong ?
</I>
I don't know as I've not looked super closely, but I think the keeping
of them in /etc/sysconfig/ folders is likely related to the add-on
scripts in NM, rather than anything specific.
I would obviously prefer if the details were kept in a keyring of some
sort, but again I've not looked too closely.
