Thanks Lars! :)
By GNOME guide the dropbox must have 10 items max.
I'm thinking in another solution for that dropbox :)
Best regards and happy new year :)

Is POP3 still widely used? I thought it was replaced by IMAP long ago. Or maybe HTTP and HTTPS could be combined into a single menu item.

I use POP3 :P hehehe :)
Combined both could be a great idea :) Thanks! I will think on it!

Ok. If you are not willing to part with POP3 in favor of IMAP yet ;) then what about swapping out FTP? We should be finding ways to discourage its use especially among beginners when there has been for a long time a secure replacement (SFTP).

Along those lines, the line saying SSH should probably say SSH/SFTP instead, just to make it clear to beginners, since they use the same port. Should that be in a separate bug report?

:) No, it's OK in this bug too :)
We'll think on it! I think the both option (HTTP/HTTPS) is a great idea :)
Thanks Lars!!

I'm not sure if this is making things too complicated, but one of the problems with SSH is that bots start to hammer it from the moment it is turned on. I use rate limiting and have seen others mention it on the Ubuntu Forums. Maybe it can be part of the settings for SFTP/SSH.

e.g.

   ip6tables -I INPUT -p TCP --dport 22 -m state --state NEW -m limit --limit 4/minute --limit-burst 5 -j ACCEPT
   iptables -I INPUT -p TCP --dport 22 -m state --state NEW -m limit --limit 4/minute --limit-burst 5 -j ACCEPT

Yes, it's complicate now,because the code use the service name without
limits. In other way gufw must use the 'standard' command in the preconf
and the user can create anothers configurations :-) but we're thinking on
an intro/wizzard and could be good idea recommend use limit with ssh :-)
I must tell you that this issue will be solved for 13.04 ;-)
Cheers and thanks for the ideas!!! :-D

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

No HTTPS for GUFW for the time being?
