The way to do this is changing the zone for the network in
NetworkManager. (This works easily for wifi networks and is kind of a
pain for wired ones, unfortunately, since there's not necessarily a
good way to distinguish.) I don't have a CentOS (or RHEL) desktop and I
don't remember offhand when this hit, but in Fedora, run the
NetworkManager config panel, hit config on a network, and change the
zone on the Security tab.
Or, put "ZONE=public" or "ZONE=work" or whatever in the ifcfg file for
the network.
I'm hoping in the future to make this better, but there are actually a
lot of different parts involved so it's hard to get everyone to agree
on the best approach.
I personally make "public" my default zone, and then add zones that
should be more trusted to networks that should be more open.
