Thanks a lot for bringing this to our attention. Although F21 is not a final release, it will be some day, and I'm glad you reported it here. I think most of the subscribers here are not subscribed to any development list.. > At the moment users aren't aware of this feature, and most users > probably never will find it working in the background, but I think it > shouldn't be enable by default silently [....] You're absolutely right. I'm perfectly clear that F21 is still under development, and this behaviour thus can be changed for the final release. Nevertheless, silently introducing a constant pinger will make me frustrated if this will be the standard behaviour in F21 final. From now on, I'll monitor future Fedora releases via external hardware for all suspicious or unwanted traffic. Such behaviour is absolutely unacceptable to me. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
