Hi. In general, prompts along the lines of "do insecure thing [yes] [no]" are a big no-no. You should either always do the insecure thing (if it really must be allowed) or never do the insecure thing (preferably), but prompting the user to make a confusing security decision is not OK. In this case I assume always failing the connection is the right thing to do, as to do otherwise would defeat the purpose of this feature. If we could automatically display some very basic troubleshooting steps ("call your ISP and tell them xyz"), that would be good too. But I presume it's unlikely that every workaround will fail and the user is stuck without DNS? Hopefully that would be rare. If it's not and the user really must be given a choice to allow insecure DNS, then maybe the world just isn't ready for DNSSEC yet.... -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
