If you set up via "neat" (that's the program name for a GUI tool for configuring networks), there's an option to allow any user to bring the interface on- or off-line. It sets a USERCTL=yes parameter into the appropriate network configuration scripts, which I see replicated in at least three places: /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-pp0 /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/ifcfg-pp0 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-pp0 I don't know which are used by what. -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
