Well I read it, but yes, I do think that ask the user is harmful. We
need to get out of the business of training users to click through
security prompts. You and I will have to agree to disagree on this.
Well, at work I use Windows 7 and when I have to set up a FTP server I
must open the firewall settings and manually set it to allow incoming
connections to the program (not to FTP port, so the program can open up
all ports it wants). That's really much more complex than clicking a
security prompt.
If the problem is file sharing, and specifically gnome-user-share, I
think firewalld can inlude a "trusted app" list: if a user enables file
sharing he's aware of doing that, so there's no need that firewalld asks
him again if it's ok for gnome-user-share to open any port. This is also
the way how Windows 7 works for file sharing, with three security levels
for this trusted app list in case you're on a public network or home or
at work.
