But what I think Ryan was trying to convey was that for each connection (a.k.a.

The firewall-config tool should have the ability to change the rules of all the zones as well as assign a zone to an interface. The Network-Manager need only have the ability to change the zone for an interface. I don't use GNOME, so I don't know if its NM allows you to change firewall rules/policy. I think you're saying it does. -- Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.
