In other words: Why is it secure to remove security for 5 minutes? Why is it secure to remove security permanently for particular stuff?
Oh, it's certainly not the most secure approach; it's a compromise between user-friendliness and security.
From my experience I think the only user-friendly way to deal with security settings is to talk to the user so that he knows what is going on. In particular when security should be removed, I think that an explicite confirmation by the user is mandatory.
Of course, the user would need to confirm this. And my understanding is that firewalld does this, thanks to PolicyKit. I'm not asking for ways to open the firewall without any interaction :-) (and again, just to be really clear, I'm not asking for firewalld itself to be integrated, but for something working in a similar way) [...]
To print documents on a remote printer, there is no need to open any port in the firewall on your host.
Just wondering: is this true for smb printers too? Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
