"That [WEB] will give people a false sense of security." IMHO those
'people' are a group that is a subset of folk that will do 'unwise'
things no matter what level of scurity is in place.

Move along, nothing to see here...

Internet != secure, period.

That will give people a false sense of security. Wouldn't it be better 
to use an approach like NetReg to give every user a warning when they 
first connect to the network? That doesn't require any arcane software 
config and would give an accurate indication of how secure the network 
is.
