True.  Also, if you only have one Unix expert and the rest of your folks
are NT people without a clue about Unix, you may still consider an NT
firewall.  Otherwise your Unix person becomes the single point of
failure on the firewall.  In other words, think about what happens if
they quit on bad terms and you suspect they're a security risk.  You've
got a problem 'cause they know a lot more about breaking into that box
than the rest of your staff does about configuring it.
