If I remember correctly, this thread started out with you saying
that stateful inspection on firewalls was useless. 'active' ftp is
a case which proves you wrong. With stateful inspection 'active' ftp
is as secure as passive mode. Thus stateful inspection is useful
when a server doesn't support passive mode (they do exist). Firewalls
are an after thought for most organisations. The firewall policy is
a compromise between what users had before security became important
and the need to protect their internal network. As I said previously
your dictatorial attitude is a main reason why other methods of over-
coming security are becomming popular. Wasn't it Bill G himself who
said that SOAP was a necessity because of the attitude of people like
you?
Also, there is no need to send a copy of your replies to me. I am on
the firewalls mailing list.
