Onesimus (joe-heaton) wrote : User Privileges ignored

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
