[New: openFATE 309036] Add checkbox to yast2-dns-server whether to use NETCONFIG_DNS_FORWARDER="bind" or not

Feature added by: Marius Tomaschewski (mtomaschewski) Feature #309036, revision 1 Title: Add checkbox to yast2-dns-server whether to use NETCONFIG_DNS_FORWARDER="bind" or not openSUSE-11.3: New Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Marius Tomaschewski (mtomaschewski) Description: Currently, yast2-dns-server always enables and makes use of the netconfig NETCONFIG_DNS_FORWARDER="bind" feature and writes the recursive forwarder name servers specified by the user to NETCONFIG_DNS_STATIC_SERVERS (same nameserver list as in yast2-dns). This configures, that the locally running bind is used as forwarder for the system (glibc) and the bind is using the specified name servers as forwarders and allows netconfig (by default, but it depends on NETCONFIG_DNS_POLICY) to update the forwarders list via netconfig with dynamic settings, e.g. from DHCP or PPP. This behavior is usually OK, and the user can disable the updates with the DHCP/PPP/... nameservers by NETCONFIG_DNS_POLICY="STATIC" instead of "auto". But currently, yast2-dns-server does not allow to configure forwarders for e.g. non-recursive, (authorative only) name server serving some zones, without to act as forwarder/recursive name server for the local system (glibc, /etc/resolv.conf), that may use another forwarders (netconfig). To allow above configuraion, it would be required to add a checkbox to disable the current behavior and instead: * Set NETCONFIG_DNS_FORWARDER="resolver" * Write the forwardes list directly into the /etc/named.d/forwarders.conf * Call "netconfig update -m dns" (when it fails, ask the user whether to force and call "netconfig update -m dns -f") To enable current behavior again: * Reset/truncate the /etc/named.d/forwarders.conf ("cp /dev/null forwarders.conf") * Set NETCONFIG_DNS_FORWARDER="bind" * Write the forwardes list to NETCONFIG_DNS_STATIC_SERVERS * Call "netconfig update -m dns" (when it fails, ask the user whether to force and call "netconfig update -m dns -f") Relations: - Bug 576759 - yast dns vs. dns-server is poorly designed (feature/id: 576759) -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309036

Feature added by: David Alston (dalston) Feature #308902, revision 1 Title: Configure SSSD via Yast openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: David Alston (dalston) Description: It would be great if we could configure the SSSD package (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/SSSD) for local user/password sync with either LDAP or Kerberos for offline authentication with Yast. This is related to https://features.opensuse.org/308900 This is important if OpenSUSE is interested in being a significant presence in Enterprise environments. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308902

[openFATE 307255] Less scary yast conflict dialogs
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 23 Jul '14

23 Jul '14

Feature added by: Martin Schlander (cb400f) Feature #307255, revision 1 Title: Less scary yast conflict dialogs openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Martin Schlander (cb400f) Description: The YaST2 sw_single dialog for conflicts, vendor change, architecture change etc. is very scary for many users. The dialog asks the user to select one of usually three offered solutions for each problem without giving much help. This is a cause for many complaints, and contributes to myths of RPM dependency hell still existing today. Zypper on the other hand, does things differently. Zypper will select an action for the user, then informs the user of the changes that will be made, and asks a Yes or No question whether the user wishes to proceed or not. I suggest to implement behaviour similar to zypper in the YaST dialog. However, the old functionality of letting the user select a solution manually for each individual problem should probably be kept, as a "hidden" expert/advanced option in the dialog. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307255

Feature added by: Eduardo Sotomayor (Easgs) Feature #308528, revision 1 Title: Yast options to replicate Ldap server openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Eduardo Sotomayor (easgs) Description: In opensuse 11.x it is possible to setup an ldap server easily, but it would be nice to have the option to setup the server in graphical mode as an ldap provider or ldap costumer, in case you need redundancy in your environment, this is especially useful when creating a samba BDC that is possible to setup using yast. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308528

Feature added by: Adrian Schröter (adrianSuSE) Feature #309058, revision 1 Title: Support patterns a build dependencies Buildservice: Evaluation Priority Requester: Mandatory Projectmanager: Mandatory Requested by: Adrian Schröter (adriansuse) Description: Esp. for kiwi image builds we need to support also patterns as build dependencies. This may be done together with fate #309057 (Generate patterns out of product descriptions), but we could also already support it with current pattern support of OBS. That would mean we need to generate the patterns from past products also as OBS pattern. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309058
