>From my experience the reason many companies use NT as a firewall platform
is nothing to do with its security. Its simply that the IT dept knows how
to run NT and does not know how to run any UNIX.. so they pick the platform
they are most comfortable with, not the one most technically appropriate.
Remember security is always a people problem, never a technical one.
