I do not know very much in this area, but I was of the impression, that firewalling might be more secure than giving ip, as you can only specify the ip, and not the network-interface the connection comes from. But of corse, ipchains stoping the one side side and inetd/xinet only allowing the other gives more than only on of them. Hochachtungsvoll, Bernhard R. Link
