Ticking this option however, does not add the service "VNC Server" to the list of permitted services in the Yast2 module "Firewall". Instead, it must be added manually through the "Firewall" module. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start YasT2's "Remote Administration" module. 2. Enable remote administration and tick the checkbox to open the relevant firewall ports. 3. Attempt to access machine remotely via VNC Actual Results: Connection times out as ports were never opened by firewall. Expected Results: VNC server connects and users can log in. After adding the permitted services manually, the VNC server asks the user for a password which does not appear to be the system's root password, nor the password for the current user. This appears to be new behaviour for 12.3, and it would be helpful to know if this is by design.
