Speaking of firewalls, is there any reason not to packet filter your PM's
off the net? Mine can only be reached from within our LAN and from one
address at livingston...and that's just because I was too lazy to
add/remove that filter exception every time I needed livingston to take a
look at where my ISDN lines had gone.
In fact, all of our terminal servers are packet filtered from the net.
The only ill effect I know of is that traceroutes from the outside world
show the second to the last hop as three *'s.
