I can confirm that thanks to the stability of the config file, tcpwrappers is widely used here. IPtables has just started getting some adoption (after years of turf wars between firewall admin and server admins) but I'm not confident a lot of projects will really use it (unfortunately, iptables did *not* have clearly defined configuration rules, so it's a free-for-all a lot of projects do not want to mess with). Selinux is the future that will arrive someday when someone dares making it mandatory (and accepts the inevitable fallout when enterprisey stuff like Oracle and friends start failing right and left) I really wish there was less energy spent on what the code looks from the inside and more than providing stable easy to use user interface. You can rewrite code twenty times no one will care as long as the interface is familiar. Break configuration syntax or other interfaces, however, and all hell breaks loose. And before someone complains of sysadmin stop energy: Microsoft core fonts (1996-era stuff) are still in the top #5 sourceforge downloads, despite being years out of date and unmaintained, and despite the boatloads of better FLOSS fonts which have been released in the past years. I'm sure they are still in Fedora install howtos. THAT's how badly users want human interface stability, be it on the server or the desktop side. -- Nicolas Mailhot -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
