No service is allowed in firewall by default.
In many ways its nonsensical to enable services (ssh, avahi) by default at boot time that simply cannot be used in any meaningful way.
I don't disagree and would really like to see that solved in a better way too.
My main concern is that its sensible for the user, we can't ask them to grok things like "Would you like to make this interface internal?".
Yeah, the basic assumption seems to be that the user is too clueless to decide anything. I don't take that for granted. Sure, technically accurate wording likely confuses people ("external zone", wtf?) but I am confident that a proper wording can be found.
Perhaps, but I always like to reference this paper: http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001/pubs/man_usability.pdf I think you often get into a situation where people press the "make it work" button without understanding the full consequences of what's going on. -JP -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
