Please excuse my OWA induced top post.

 

Thank you for the information.

 

I found the dconf pull request (#229 
https://github.com/OpenSCAP/scap-security-guide/pull/229). Should discussion 
occur in the comments on github or on the list?

 

I'll start new threads to separate the discussion for chrony/ntp and 
iptables/firewalld.

Some applications do use gconf still, but I believe gnome requires dconf in 
RHEL7 since it is GNOME3. There is an existing pull request for converting most 
of the gconf settings to dconf.

iptables and firewalld conflict each other so one or the other (preferably 
firewalld).

No decision has been made on this as I am aware.

Actually, there hasn't been much conversation on this. Thanks for
starting the conversation!

IMO, we should start with system defaults as first/primary goal, then
enable secondary configs in future passes. aka, address firewalld first
then iptables.

If we're able to get both done at the same time, then great -- but focus
should be on system default first.

What does everyone think of such an approach?
