Hi James, I think, you're wrong. "You trust" in the home or work zone [1], not in the public zone. Kind regards, --Mirek [1] http://www.firewalld.org/documentation/zone/predefined-zones.html (In reply to james labocki from comment #0) > Document URL: > https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/ > html/Security_Guide/sec-Using_Firewalls.html > > Section Number and Name: 4.5.1.2. Understanding Network Zones > > Describe the issue: > > The current documentation for the public security zone reads: > > "Public For use in public areas. You do not trust the other computers on the > network to not harm your computer. Only selected incoming connections are > accepted." > > Should read: > > "Public For use in public areas. You trust the other computers on the > network to not harm your computer. Only selected incoming connections are > accepted." > > In other words, remove the double negative. |
