*Sigh* You seem to be right. As usual. It seems the world has finally
gone completely bonkers and every commercial firewall vendor now
includes either java web management interface if it's proprietary OS
based appliance or an X windows GUI if it's a unix based box. (Yes, I
know, all generalizations are false.)

Well, there is still a good way to keep X windows off your production
firewalls, but most people won't bother with that, so I won't even
mention it. The whole idea of having staging boxes and test networks is
not 'in' nowadays. :-)

Cheers,

Saso
