I thought the winking smiley gave it away.

But there is a basis for my jesting comment: It's great that you take 
security seriously, but I believe you're over-estimating the danger of 
the running service.
Fedora has a firewall enabled by default. And I trust that the service 
receives any applicable security updates. The users' systems are not 
compromised.
