Mikael,
Point taken, and I accept this with all that it then implies; that all
Gauntlet implementations have to then be considered compromised and closed
to be reinstalled from scratch with the new patches. Also further
requiring a total audit of all connected network/server/hosts.
And so then also owe an apology to all those such as gramble, who have
suffered under the hotseat of the current wave of exploits to some of the
more trusted and established firewalling systems they have been managing.
with the heavy workload that has been cast upon them.
Thanks,
Ron DuFresne

OK, so you're a Ph.D. Just don't touch anything.
