I wonder: did anybody look at integrating firewalld (a firewall service daemon with D-BUS interface managing a dynamic firewall), or proposing a similar dbus API for what we have?
Like this? http://lizards.opensuse.org/2009/07/10/1453/ http://lizards.opensuse.org/2009/08/28/firewall-zone-switcher-updated/
I'm unsure if this covers the exact same use case; see below for an example of how firewalld is being used.
I'm starting to see some applications making use of the dbus API,
For what purpose?
and it does improve user experience to have that.
What exactly?
For instance, when configuring printers, the tool can open the mdns, ipp, ipp-client and samba-client ports for 5 minutes and probe the network (ports will get closed after the 5 minutes). And if the user chooses to use a printer using one of those ports, the tool will permanently open the port. That's the example that is implemented I'm aware of (implemented in two places), and I can see this being integrated in the vnc server, and various multimedia servers too.
