Last week we implemented a prototype of a reusable component to manage services in YaST modules and applied it to yast-dns-server.
So I updated the infamous "YaST service management" document[1] to show the two alternatives of usage of the new component. Feedback (from UI expert or anybody else) is appreciated so we can decide which option (labeled "A" and "B") in the document is better in general.
Option A is confusing because the (IMHO related) "start now" and "start on boot" options are in separate tabs. Also, the firewall settings apply for both, so having them only in the Start-Up tab adds more confusion. Therefore I clearly prefer option B because it has all related options around startup in one place. A little detail: I don't know much about bind, but I'm slightly surprised about the "[ ] LDAP Support Active" option - why is this option on the same tab as the start now/on boot settings? I'd guess "LDAP Support Active" is a config option for bind, and therefore should be on another tab (maybe "Basic Options"?) To sum it up - I'd take option B with the "LDAP Support Active" option moved to another tab. And I'd propose to use _exactly_ that screen for all services. If you think option B has too much on one page, move the firewall settings to a separate "Firewall" tab. That's still better than option A ;-) (and if a service needs multiple independent ports (for example, 80 and 443 for Apache), you even have some room for more checkboxes) Regards, Christian Boltz -- Meine Rechner sind seit einem Jahr ein Naturschutzgebiet für Pinguine. ;)) [Michael Raab in suse-linux] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: yast-devel+owner@opensuse.org
