Actually, yast2-firewall has been proposed to be used by common users. With some [Advanced] configuration for advanced users (or Server settings). Xinetd configuration is a bit different and it's not suitable for common users. From my point of view, it's one badly-arranged table of settings. Firewall configuration is set of more features divided into smaller dialogs. Considering the fact, that firewall plays with the security of the system, it should be as simple as possible and there should be listed as few entries as possible. That's why the firewall has also the Summary screen before saving the configuration. Lukas Johan N. wrote:
Just a thought here ...
Have a look at the yast setup for xinetd and go this route, when thinking of the UI
It would be so nice to have something similar for the setup of SuSEfirewall2

Well, having these services well-defined by packages themselves seems to be a good idea, on the other hand too many defined services might make the UI almost unusable :)
The listbox becomes shorter as it would only contain what's actually installed and a default install doesn't include most of the stuff that's currently offered.
