From my point of view everything is correct. Usually there is no FW_CONFIGURATIONS_EXT="cups" and then there is also no warning. But in case of an update when FW_CONFIGURATIONS_EXT="cups" was used, or in case of a new installation from scratch where the use set FW_CONFIGURATIONS_EXT="cups" manually (because in YaST it is correctly no longer available)

Therefore I cannot reproduce what comment #2 reads. I think "a clean 11.3 m6 install" did not mean a 11.3 default installation from scratch. With FW_CONFIGURATIONS_EXT="cups" but without a matching /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2.d/services/cups I get: --------------------------------------------------------------- root@host# rcSuSEfirewall2 start Starting Firewall Initialization (phase 2 of 2) SuSEfirewall2: Warning: config 'cups' not available done --------------------------------------------------------------- the warning is exactly what should be shown to make the user aware of the incompatible change. For openSUSE 11.3 there is an incompatible change (FW_CONFIGURATIONS_...="cups" does no longer work) which leads to some annoyance but I don't know a solution which avoids the annoyance but is still sufficiently secure because I will no longer provide such a too easy invitation for normal users to set up a security hole in the cups packages. Furthermore the help texts in the YaST printer and scanner modules regarding firewall have been already updated and point to the URL http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:CUPS_and_SANE_Firewall_settings For openSUSE 11.3 I close the issue as "wontfix" (there is some annoyance but I don't know to avoid it). For future openSUSE versions after 11.3 we may think about how to enhace it according to comment #7 (but this is still an incompatible change because FW_CONFIGURATIONS_EXT="cups" will still no longer work - onyl FW_CONFIGURATIONS_INT="cups" will then work). -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
