I agree with this, that the security of the network will be dependent on the ruleset ng firewall that has been done by the security administrator. That's why I'm introducing the NITIX OS, which has a built-in firewall that you don't need to worry about the configuration, because It will do it for you automatically. (THAT's the power of autonomic computing) OS that is self-securing and self-managing. http://www.nitix.com/products/features_connectivity_firewall.php This is a good flash presentation to watch. http://www.nitix.com/flash/security.swf Meric -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
