If it were not for creative editing/clipping I would show that I meant
power cord as equivalent for shutdown, leaving network cable equivalent to
turning off interface out of discussion (or implied as such). Being a
moron I am I'm not against everybody having some loughs at my expense
whenever possible... I still would prefer not this sidetracked discussion
(I know I have myself to blame for that), but some push towards disabling
local user's abilities to fiddle with network settings short of
uninstalling networkmanager GUI and friends. I got one general pointer
already (thanks, James!). Didn't do careful reading on that yet, so any
straight guidance is still welcome!
