NAME
usernet - graphical utility for manipulating network
interfaces
SYNOPSIS
usernet
DESCRIPTION
usernetctl gives the user two buttons for each network
interface he or she is allowed to control: a button to
toggle interface status (bring the network up or down),
and a button which shows the current network status, and
updates when pressed (as well as automatically). Normal
users are allowed to control only user-controllable inter-
faces, as reported by the usernetctl(1) program; the supe-
ruser is allowed to control all devices.
Interfaces with multiple configurations (``Clone'' config-
urations created with the netctl utility) present a menu
for bringing the device up. The menu presents all the
configurations that the user is allowed to control. How-
ever, for brining the interface down, the configurations
are meaningless, so it does not present the menu in that
case.
