2010-03-12 13:58:56 ceg description I have set up a number of user accounts. On one of these accounts I adjusted the user privileges (System->Administration->Users and Groups->Properties->User Privileges). For one particular user I de-selected the two options: * Connect to Internet using a modem * Connect to wireless and ethernet networks However, despite disabling access to the internet, the user is still able to connect to the internet through a wireless connection. I am assuming that this is a security vulnerability, because the intention is to deny access and this doesn't occur. I am using Ubuntu 8.10 I have set up a number of user accounts. On one of these accounts I adjusted the user privileges (System->Administration->Users and Groups->Properties->User Privileges). For one particular user I de-selected the two options:     * Connect to Internet using a modem     * Connect to wireless and ethernet networks However, despite disabling access to the internet, the user is still able to connect to the internet through a wireless connection. I am assuming that this is a security vulnerability, because the intention is to deny access and this doesn't occur. I am using Ubuntu 8.10 ---- Policykit has been introduced without supporting the unix groups. (used by admins and set up by the installer) i.e. It is possible to create a policy that just said "yes" rather than "auth_*" where the default was "no", for anyone in the netdev group so theiy could do it without a password. -> we should ship PolicyKit config files that make use of these groups.
