hi ya
if the machines are hardened and so are the network..
if you attempt to do something like telnet,ftp,ppp,pop3s,dhcp...
it just wotn connect/work ...
- firewall will drop those services
becauses its "against policy"
if the admin is NOT notified/emailed/paged ..
than the systems need to be upgraded...
- but than again, you only want tobe emailed/paged
only when its important... not because a newbie
tried to do yahoo chat during the work day ...etc
or telnet/ftp instead of ssh
c ya
