well, I partly agree with you here - most of them do. But taking into
account that people are discovering server code flaws on a nearly daily
basis - you know, the "may aquire root access" type - I would not to 100%
rule out the opportunity of a malicious guy/girl stepping into my system.
Granted, if they had root shell access they could then kill my firewall -
nothing is secure except a server that's switched off and grounded into the
pacific with a ton of concrete around it. But it may make life harder for
those people. That's all I aim for...
>not get infected - even my mother can do this.
you got a technologically advanced mother - be a good son :)
