Since the primary of user this app seems to be a network admin, I'm taking that use case into account during this discussion. Wouldn't a better idea be to create a system management app that would report some basic things like the system being out of date with security patches and the OS ver to central admin server? The admin software could be setup to change default routes based on rules specified by the admin that wants it. I believe that it's a bad idea to have an app that when installed by mistake will cause the system to not work. If it is installed, the user should be forced to change a config file that will enable it's capabilities. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
