I've started a new thread because this discussion was going to get lost in the 200+ message thread-o-doom. So so far we have the introduction of gnome-user-share, which uses an http process dynamically bound to a port running as the user to share stuff in a ~/Public file to the world w/out auth. It sounds like gnome-user-auth will go into core. The restrictions have been put forth: * Functionality is provided by a package and removed by a package, w/out core deps. * Functionality is controlled by a gconf entry which an admin can set to mandatory off (or just remove the package) Some ideas that have floated for this package include: * Functionality disabled until a file is placed in ~/Public prompting for a dialog box informing the user that the share is now active, with a link to more help in this. * Gnome-panel icon to show state of sharing with a timeout value to stop the share (configurable) * Integration with network-manager to enable/disable the share on specific networks Thoughts? -- Jesse Keating RHCE (geek.j2solutions.net) Fedora Legacy Team (www.fedoralegacy.org) GPG Public Key (geek.j2solutions.net/jkeating.j2solutions.pub) Was I helpful?
