This is a problem which started recently possibly with some security
update in 10.4.11. I have an application which creates a PPP network
location. This application uses the System Configuration Framework to
create a new Set and add a PPP Service. This code has worked for a number
of years.


Recently, something on OSX has changed. Our application continues to work as
it always has, but once we add the new Set/Service, if the user opens the
Network Preferences, a sheet drops down with the following Alert: ³Your
network settings have been changed by another application.². I could live
with this if you hit the OK button and the sheet just dismissed itself. But,
and here¹s the problem, when the Alert is dismissed, it drops down again !
The user is in an infinite loop where the Alert continues to be re- displayed
no matter how many times they hit the OK button. So, my question is: Has the
System Config Framework changed in terms of the API¹s that need to be called
to create a network Set / Service ? What do I need to do to get rid of the
Alert and prevent it from coming back when the OK button is hit ?

Alec,

I don't know if this is related to your problem, but I saw this earlier today, about PPP changes with Tiger Security Update 2008-06.
