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@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 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?
