Post #3880528

In light of all the #Linux drama lately, I thought I'd glance at what are the #FreeBSD equivalents to the various software I use. Well, the network configuration story is very not good. You know how Linux has NetworkManager? On FreeBSD, if you want to configure network interfaces by GUI, you…run a GUI app as root via sudo. https://github.com/ghostbsd/networkmgr/blob/324b90ce3775928692032f1f6cef9ed5ee097962/src/networkmgr.desktop Which then shells out to sysrc to apply configuration settings: https://github.com/ghostbsd/networkmgr/blob/324b90ce3775928692032f1f6cef9ed5ee097962/NetworkMgr/configuration.py#L611 You've got to be kidding me. That all's insecure as hell.
