Description Gendre Sébastien 2011-10-06 13:42:46 UTC
When you want to share your audio library with a firewall actived, like in Fedora, you need to manually open ports and it's not user friendly.

But now any software can open/close port dynamically with firewalld.

Firewalld is a firewall service daemon with D-BUS interface managing a dynamic firewall created by Fedora project.
For more information: https://fedorahosted.org/firewalld/

So, the feature request is: Open needed ports in firewall by using firewalld via D-BUS when the DAAP sharing is using.

Hi

My guess is that firewalld should detect what port to open automatically using UPNP igd, and not asking any application adding support to any new firewalling application.

regards

Firewalld config the firewall in the computer where they run (netfilter), not the firewall runing in the modem. Or I don't understand what do you want to say with UPNP.

What Baptiste said is that this probably makes no sense to implement in Rhythmbox itself. It should be done way lower in the stack.

Auto open port, when a server listen to it, will probably never be implemented in Firewalld. It's too unsecure. We need to ask user if he wan't to open port or not.

But the request to Firewalld should be done to the DAAP server, libdmapsharing, not in Rhythmbox.

This bug can be closed.
