Adam,

I've found that by default when I create a user, the checkbox in
NetworkManager that says

"All users may connect to this network" is checked!

If I uncheck anyway the network configuration files are in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/

Really I don't understand this behavior (using mate-desktop on F20)
