Feature changed by: Federico Lucifredi (flucifredi) Feature #305147, revision 6 Title: Wizard mode for Network Card configuration (in YaST) - openSUSE-11.2: New + openSUSE-11.2: Evaluation Priority Requester: Neutral + Info Provider: o jaeger (meissner) Requested by: Michal Zugec (mzugec) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: (based on "Internet/Intranet with external Router" in suse-beta-e) It seems some users don't know how to setup the SuSEfirewall correctly. Especially, they don't know if they should setup a network card as internal or external device. If a network card is found, YaST should ask for its usage (local network or directly connected to the internet?) - every user should know. With this information the firewall setup can be done in a useful way. See bugzilla https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=67415 + Discussion: + #1: Federico Lucifredi (flucifredi) (2009-01-26 20:34:01) + sounds reasonable. But how many multihomed systems do we find where the + user "does not know" ? + Besides, the security team's policy seems to be "lock everything, ask + questions later", so I am not sure they are willing to mollify the + firewall rules (for instance, open up Avahi by default, or other + default daemons) on a "local" interface. + Asking Marcus for insight. I am not sure on this one. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=305147
