Yes agree with that, and my intention was not to spread FUD or claim that ip-filtering is useless, perhaps I used the wrong wording. I still believe the information is on topic though. So in order to, hopefully, clearify my statement: One would most likely be very safe off using ip-filtering, but nonetheless opening up for incoming connections at least creates a potential for the system becoming more vulnerable to attacks, although this is unlikely. -- bhaagensen ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bhaagensen's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7418 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35374 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
