Hi,
<snip>
In both cases we would ideally like the application developers to
take some
action in terms of how they deal with the situation.
There wasn't any usable APIs for applications when I first replied to this
thread, and there still isn't any.
Man "firewalld.dbus" will show you what app developers are supposed to work
with.
That said to me the request we would make of them in the firewall
scenario
seems easier to do generically than the option we would
like them to take in the second option, and also less of a risk when some of
the app devs will not do what we hope they
will.
Certainly, because users will simply disable the firewall and be done with it.
That's certainly what I do.
