Now trying to be more constructive: I would much prefer NetworkManager to have some kind of integration with "system-config-services" rather than with "system-config-firewall" (pardon my Fedora-speak, I think non-Fedora users will get the point anyway). Something along those lines: "You are about to connect to an untrusted network. Do you want to switch off network listening daemons?". Or even better, something like this: http://homepage.mac.com/locationmanager/screenshots.html It's not because Windows is lousy and not able to track listening ports that Linux has to copy its uselessly complex, firewall-based model. It can surely do simpler. _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
