Archived discussions ==================== Include additional debugging information? ----------------------------------------- We might add the possibility to include logs, debugging info etc., perhaps something like the Incognito [script](https://tor-svn.freehaven.net/svn/incognito/trunk/root_overlay/usr/bin/incognito-debug) does. _Nota bene_: * that script was mostly written for the Incognito developer's own personal usage * scrubbing of IP/MAC addresses from ifconfig output and similar sensitive information should of course be done in order to not compromise the *real* users. > Agreed. I imported this script and adapted it a bit. > > Pending questions: > > 1. How useful would the cleaned-up `ifconfig` and `iwconfig` > output be? I am in favour of not including them at all, and > removed them from the script. > 2. After testing this script, I can't think of any other > privacy-sensitive information that needs to be cleaned-up. > Any idea? >> >> I don't like the idea that this script being defaults, as I fear >> that the information that it discloses give the machine model. >>> >>> Computers being mass-market products, I don't consider this is >>> a huge problem, providing the user is clearly warned about it. >>> >>>> OK, let's say that giving that in addition the mail is encrypted, >>>> there's no problem to disclose that. >>>> > > 3. Should this be an option provided in the GUI? If yes, opt-in or > opt-out?

What do you think? >> >> As a result of comment in #2, I would prefere an option in the >> GUI, and preferabily an opt-in.

What would be the files to copy on Debian instead of the Gentoo's > `/etc/sysconfig/*`?
