One of the questions is do you do the firewall change on service start/stop or at chkconfig time. And I'm a little bit torn on that one. chkconfig time makes it "simpler" as far as not requiring initscript changes. start/stop seems like it's probably more "correct", but would then require initscripts to call a new function on start/stop Jeremy -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
