Of if you can go further and make it enablable for some networks but not others. > Sure, removing the package is one way you (the system administrator) > could disable it. Is this a commitment to make sure this is treated as a addon package... instead of making a more fundamental default desktop element explicitly requiring the package that provides this sharing functionality? In the past, some elements of the gnome desktop as packaged in fedora/rhl could be considered as addon functionality where packaged in a way that demanded they always get installed via explicit added requirements to ensure an expected default experience. If whatever package provides this file sharing functionality ends up being explicitly required in something like gnome-session or nautilus this makes it very difficult for an admin to remove without going to extreme effort to rebuild Core gnome removing the explicitly added requirements. -jef -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
