Hi,

I'll likely be moving to a cable modem soon and intend to install a
machine to act as a firewall, likely a Linux box.  Since it will be
sitting there all day doing nothing other than screening stuff between my
LAN and the 'Net, I thought I'd run mprime (if Linux) on it.  Of course,
all of the security gurus say to run nothing beyond the programs actually
needed on the firewall box.  Am I creating any security risks by running
mprime on the firewall box?  I'm sure some of you must be doing
that--noticed any problems?

Thanks!
Kel Utendorf
