wicd (1.7.0+ds1-3) unstable; urgency=low From version 1.7, wicd uses /etc/wicd/dhclient.conf.template as its configuration file for dhclient(1), if you chose it as DHCP client. Before connecting, this will copied to /etc/dhclient.conf, after a backup of the original file has been made. The backup would be restored after the connection terminates. For more information about how to use this file, refer to dhclient.conf(5). -- David Paleino Mon, 24 May 2010 16:09:33 +0200 wicd (1.5.9-1) unstable; urgency=low From this version onwards, the wicd-client GUI will be available only to users of the `netdev' group, so as to avoid users not enabled by root to change network configuration. This means that, if you do *not* belong to that group, wicd-client will refuse to start with a permission denied error by DBus, as soon as installation of 1.5.9-1 succeeds. To add yourself to the netdev group, ask your administrator to do, or do as root yourself: # usermod --append --groups netdev (obviously replace "" with the user you want to grant access to wicd-client to). This could also be done with graphical user management programs. Also, be sure to reload the D-Bus daemon with: # /etc/init.d/dbus reload -- David Paleino Sun, 08 Feb 2009 13:43:54 +0100
