User-Agent:       Opera/9.80 (X11; Linux i686; U; ru) Presto/2.2.15 Version/10.10

After click on yast2-rdp in yast it asks to install "xrdp" packet (which is not present in oss repository). If i click ok - it disables opensuse's firewall and it's config vanishes..

Reproducible: Always

1. Install "yast2-rdp" packet from oss repo.
2. Try to config rdp with this packet in yast.
3. See disabled firewall with null config..
Actual Results:  
firewall disabled and it's config vanishes

Expected Results:  
firewall disabled and it's config vanishes

there is probably no xrdp on 11.2 anyway, so do not use it.

(but it probably has the same issue on SLE11 and moblin 2.0)

I encountered the same issue today.

Can't something be done to either fix this or disable the package or something?
Fortunately I had a firewall config backup but less sophisticated users might not.

rpm -e yast2-rdp

we cannot really drop it from released products.

If someone from the community wants to do a fix he/she is welcome.
Comment 4 Jon Nelson 2010-02-18 15:54:10 UTC 
It seems to me that there are two issues:

1. modifying the firewall by whatever mechanism yast2-rdp uses (yast2 firewall?) seems to hose the firewall config. This, to me, is the much more important issue.

2. yast2-rdp cannot be used as shipped. Perhaps a dummy replacement package could be made which says "if you need rdp functionality, add this repo....".

but to me issue number 1 is by far the bigger one.
