Actually I find these questions to be a net lose. Just like the ssl
cert questions in browsers. They're scray questions in languages the
user either doesn't understand or just plain doesn't care about. (and
no, I don't have a better suggestion to solve the problem)
I was mostly talking about the infrastructure that this provides. and I
mentioned the UI needs love. It would allow us to do something like
that:
http://www.wap.org/journal/security3/firewall.jpg
Or better, allow HTTP on a specific port when personal sharing is on,
etc. Without the infrastructure, we end up with full firewall logs, and
no user feedback.
