Allowing any of these other than perhaps net meeting *is* opening a huge
hole in your firewall, and I wouldn't put all that much trust in net
meeting. If you have to allow things like FTP or rpc then start
questioning why you even _have_ a firewall, because you're likely relying
on a placebo to cure you, and you have testicular cancer.
