And it could have security problems.įor example, if I have all connection passwords stored in a root protected keyring or wallet, and an attacker gets access to user level operations, all they would have to do is create a new connection to have it be autoconnected to a nearby wifi hotspot with no open authentication. I believe the problem is that the 'default' of not specifying is a boolean True. PS, Im pretty sure this applies to all Buntus.Įdit1: a longer response to answer below. why would I want to always limit every network connection to just one device?. Lastly, bonus if you know how to unset 'Restrict to this device' by default. Also, I want to change the 'All users may connect to this network' to on by default, to stop the KDEWallet popups from interfering with every network change in tandem with the Autoconnect default on. The problem is that it is obviously a security flaw to connect to new networks by default. I realize I could create a conf file for each expected network connection, but I want it off for any and all new connections. Any other location suggestions to try? Or does anyone know where the actual default 'true' setting is stored? Or if there is a place to create such a setting. I just tried sudo grep -R 'autoconnect=true' /etc and in /usr and /var too, with no luck. There must be a template file in /etc or a config file somewhere for this. Some of these do show autoconnect=false, but I need false to be the default boolean. I have so far been able to shut down NetworkManager in Kubuntu, tried installing network-manager-gnome, checked the config files listed with sudo NetworkManager -print-config including the main /etc/NetworkManager/nf file (adding no-auto-default=* under ), and the individual config files per network connection in ll /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/. Is there any way to disable "Automatically connect to this network when available" permanently?
