Greetings,
I had a couple of questions about the direction the RHEL 7 SSG will be going;
Particularly with the below new subsystems in 7;
gconf vs dconf (GNOME 2 vs GNOME 3)
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.
Has there been a decision on how to check and remediate with dconf?iptables vs firewalld
iptables and firewalld conflict each other so one or the other (preferably firewalld).
Has there been a decision on which method will go forward forcheck / remediation? chrony vs ntpd
No decision has been made on this as I am aware.
Has there been a decision on which to use and which will goforward for check / remediation?
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?
