[openFate 304937] Wireless dynamic WEP connection with 802.1x authentication in Yast/sysconfig
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 29 Jul '08

29 Jul '08

Feature changed by: Stanislav Visnovsky <visnov(a)novell.com> Feature #304937, revision 5 Title: Wireless dynamic WEP connection with 802.1x authentication in Yast/sysconfig - openSUSE-11.1: Evaluation + openSUSE-11.1: Rejected by Stanislav Visnovsky <visnov(a)novell.com> + reject date: 2008-07-29 15:43:08 + reject reason: This cannot be done in time for openSUSE 11.1. Priority Requester: Important + openSUSE-11.2: New + Priority + Requester: Important Requested by: Helmut Schaa <hschaa(a)novell.com> + Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Yast/sysconfig does already support WPA-EAP wireless connections but is missing support for dynamic WEP connections using 802.1x authentication. wpa_supplicant is able to start such a connection with a network block which uses key_mgmt=IEEE8021X instead of key_mgmt=WPA- EAP. Example: network={ ssid=xxx key_mgmt=IEEE8021X eap=TTLS identity=xxx password=xxx ... } Based on bug #380671 comment #16 and #19. Discussion: #2: Helmut Schaa <hschaa(a)novell.com> (2008-07-09 13:34:35) (reply to #1) This request is about dynamic WEP, not static WEP keys (which is already supported). The 802.1x authentication is used to derive dynamic WEP keys repeatedly. It is much more secure then plain static WEP (although not as secure as WPA of course) and still widely used. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=304937

[openFate 303700] Ability to log all configuration changes done via YaST
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 29 Jul '08

29 Jul '08

Feature changed by: Federico Lucifredi <flucifredi(a)novell.com> Feature #303700, revision 13 Title: Ability to log all configuration changes done via YaST openSUSE-11.1: Candidate Priority Requester: Mandatory Projectmanager: Mandatory SLED-11: Candidate Priority Requester: Mandatory Projectmanager: Mandatory SLES-11: Candidate Priority Requester: Mandatory Projectmanager: Mandatory Requested by: Matthias Eckermann <mge(a)novell.com> Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Provide the ability to log all configuration changes done via YaST. Additionally, in this mode an admin would be prompted to document what was the nature/purpose of the change as the module is being closed, akin to commit messages in a versioning system. Documentation Impact: The new log file needs to be documentated in admin guide. Discussion: #1: Federico Lucifredi <flucifredi(a)novell.com> (2008-04-30 15:27:04) note fate 303688 related: packaging CFT. I am not sure CFT is the right way to provide this functionality, but a consideration is that an admin using CFT will probably log both manual-editing and YaST-driven conf changes via the same tool. #2: Stanislav Visnovsky <visnov(a)novell.com> (2008-06-03 12:40:41) Duncan, Jiri, this might be an architectural change, please, look into this. Also, we might need to define scope of which changes we are able to track. #3: Jiri Srain <jsrain(a)novell.com> (2008-07-07 10:45:35) Martin, please, have a look at possibilities to record all changes and suggest an infrastructure. Federico, we will hardly be able to make all modules record all the changes they do. Could you, please, give us some priorities for SLE11? + #6: Federico Lucifredi <flucifredi(a)novell.com> (2008-07-28 19:58:20) + (reply to #3) + Sure: network, users+groups would be a start. #4: Martin Vidner <mvidner(a)novell.com> (2008-07-08 11:44:54) This looks like a superset of feature 100386. Note that that one was downgraded because it is large (it requires touching all YaST modules). #5: Stanislav Visnovsky <visnov(a)novell.com> (2008-07-08 12:08:56) (reply to #4) Please, look into enabling of the stuff, not covering all YaST modules. + #7: Federico Lucifredi <flucifredi(a)novell.com> (2008-07-28 19:59:34) + (reply to #5) + Indeed. Look at this architecturally. Also please keep in mind that the + maintainer of CFT will help in getting that too to work on SLE + (eventually, not for 11 GA timeframe), so please keep in mind these + logs could feed into CFT eventually (and we would not want to change + too much to make that happen :-) -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=303700

[openFate 305131] connecting an unpartitioned disk should bring up a partitioner
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 28 Jul '08

28 Jul '08

Feature changed by: Michael Loeffler <michl(a)novell.com> Feature #305131, revision 3 Title: connecting an unpartitioned disk should bring up a partitioner - openSUSE-11.1: New + openSUSE-11.1: Evaluation Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Juergen Weigert <jw(a)novell.com> + Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: USB or Firewire disks can be easily connected at runtime. For a newly bought disk, nothing happens, when it is connected for the first time. Unlike e.g. a USB-Memory-stick, which immediatly opens a filebrowser, when first connected. The technical difference is, disks come unformatted, USB-sticks come formatted. We should recognize this difference and pop up an easy to use partitioner. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305131

Documentation Impact: Installation guide needs to be updated. Discussion: #1: Stanislav Visnovsky <visnov(a)novell.com> (2008-06-17 12:56:47) Federico, NTP setup is already possible.

I want to see it pre-enabled by default againt a dedicated suse. pool.ntp.org / time.novell.com server (separate feature for that). We are lagging a bit behind Win and Mac where the vendos provide their own time source, and we need to catch up there. #3: Jiri Srain <jsrain(a)novell.com> (2008-07-07 12:18:32) We will need not only to enable NTP during installation, but display this information in the installation proposal (and possibly time zone dialog) as well. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=303520
