Everyone I know hates that on servers.

Apparently firewalld tries to use it and it's mentioned in the SSG explicitly.

Since it's mentioned, there needs to be surrounding guidance on how to make it not be so "user friendly".

If it's not needed, it should fall under "run no unnecessary services" and be slated to be killed explicitly since it does try to give people the ability to do things in the network stack by default (which they should not have).

Thanks,

Trevor

Why is NetworkManager required? I hate that on servers.

As I was digging around some of the content, I realized that I had a question that I never managed to get answered.

Namely, is NetworkManager now a required service?

If so, what is the proper mechanism for restricting DBus access to NetworkManager to only allowed users (i.e. no GUI utilities, etc...).

I feel like this should be codified somewhere in the SSG content.

Thanks,

Trevor
