I know. That was meant to be an oxymoron, for emphasis. I haven't read
Stevens, though. What the full title of his (?) book (?)? I presume it's
one of those classic must-reads (like "The C Programming Language" by K&R)
that will definitely be worth my while. :)

Ahh, yes, the firewall approach. I have got to read up on that and learn
it. Should be great for general network security, as well (block all ports
except those that are authorized). I wonder, though, how masqueraded or
proxied connections (via SOCKS5) like IRC and ICQ will be affected by such
firewall configurations. Perhaps those who use firewall rules regularly
(ACENT guys and girl, yoohoo) can recommend some decent documentation
available online?
