It's worse. Think CD/DVD/USB shared via Samba. No one needs to be logged on in the pre-F17 scenario, but now things are totally broken. Deferring things until first logon only makes sense if there actually is a logon. That is an unwarranted design assumption - too many "it must be a single user desktop" assumptions/bias. Using Fedora as a small home network server just got more complex, and I smell incompatibilities coming with how folks using Fedora (or a later RHEL release) would tend to treat mounted media. With F16 I finally was able to use on-boot static addressing with NetworkManager on my Samba/DHCP/DNS small server. No more switching to to use the traditional Network service. Please keep things flexible to allow for these scenarios. Al -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
