Dear All, Am I alone? I have stripped as much as I can *off* my Eigerstein Box (i.e. no DNS Cache, no DHCP Server, etc. etc.).
I was always brought up to understand that with respect to security: "Less is More" The reasoning? As follows: 1) All programs (probably) contain bugs, 2) Some Bugs can (probably) be exploited, 3) More programs means more chances of bugs, 4) More bugs means more chances for an exploit, 5) Therefore: as few programs as possible in a position that is exposed. Certainly run everything *including* the "kitchen sink" on an *internal*, protected machine to use up those surplus CPU cycles and keep the processor "nice and warm", but *resist* the temptation to do so on the *firewall*. A happy and *safe* new year to you all Mark _______________________________________________ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
