msec desktop notifications
With a few commits to s2u and msec source, msec finally got the long-announced desktop notifications support.
It is still too basic, and not-too-fancy, but it works. So with this item, I’d say that the msec rewrite for Mandriva 2009.1 is done. There are still some bugs to fix, and strings to translate, and implement the support for AppArmor as soon as updated packages are released, but all those items are quite simple to do.
Besides, msec works quite well on other distros as well. It wasn’t my main focus until now, but I was thinking on making packages of it for some other distros. And maybe writing a Fedora/CentOS/RH plugin to support selinux relabeling from msec, or add support for DPKG checks from within msec, or finally get to implement snort/ossec plugins.. the list of ideas is quite long, soon we’ll find out what will happen 
.
I hope it will be easily possible to disable these notifications?
Will it work under kde4 ?
Frederik: yes, on first msecgui screen there is an option to disable them (“Display security alerts on desktop”).
yoho: it should work just like any other notifications in kde4. If you are receiving any notifications (such as for new available packages, for example), it should work
.
That’s great ! I will add your screenshot in the 2009.1 visual tour. BTW, concerning Fedora support, don’t hesitate to contact Vincent danen and/or Adam Williamson as they are working for Fedora now.
Great work.
