Brian,
How do you propose to configure the user id & password into the PIX?
There's no command to allow this. So you won't be doing any authentication,
except the pre-shared key which is the same for everyone. One password
between your LAN and the Internet. Feel safe?
You could install Radius for NT, it comes on the Option Pack 4 CD and is
free. It won't work without the radius/IIS service pack 6 and some other
upgrade (I forget the name). Just be forwarned, with this software you get
"exactly" what you pay for.
