HA! That's the most rediculous thing I've ever heard on this list. The only thing a firewall is good for is to provide you with a false sense of security. If you want to be able to run services like web or mail servers, you by definition must start punching holes in your firewall. The instant you do that, you expose the soft underbelly of your supposedly safe network. noah -- _______________________________________________________ | Web: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/ | PGP Public Key: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/mail.html
