If I'm installing a server, I want to actually use it. So, if the firewall needs modifying, it makes sense to do so. At the very least, there ought to be some kind of option to automatically open the firewall for you. Whether that be a question during install, addition of an appropriate tickbox to the firewall configurator, or the option to install another small package that opens the firewall (e.g. something like install ftpserver & ftpserver-config). While adding an install question may be awkward for automated installs, I see no reason why an manual install doesn't ask a series of questions at the end of the sequence. Or, at least, leaves messages in the terminal alerting you to the need to configure your firewall (perhaps, first checking if the current firewall config will block it). -- tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.19.8-100.fc20.i686 #1 SMP Tue May 12 17:42:35 UTC 2015 i686 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
