I don't want to remove the firewall, I think the firewall is good. All we need is the package installed by default, the services turned on, and the firewall rule set to permit those ports that the SMB/NMB protocol and the active directory stuff from SAMBA uses.
Let's open a feature for this (use http://features.opensuse.org), I've talked with some developers and AFAIK it's not trivial to open the firewall to enable samba browsing since there's not a single well-known port - and you don't want to open it to the complete internet,

If we start doing the we'll end up having all kinds of things enabled by default (slp, avahi, cups) just because it's convenient. This is not what the external zone is intended for and defeats the purpose of the firewall. A separate zone could be configured with such defaults though. Also, fwzs could be developed further¹. cu Ludwig [1] http://lizards.opensuse.org/2009/08/28/firewall-zone-switcher-updated/ -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.de/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
