On our boxes, the HMC has been on a "private" network, it's not exposed to our LAN - which means I have to go into the data center to do HMC functions of course. I was always wary of having my HMC on a network visible to others - but it seems many are doing it.
What makes it secure enough for you? Is it vulnerable to a denial-of-service attack if someone keeps hammering at it? And for those of you using AF/Remote or a similar product with an HMC interface - do you allow people to dial into that product from outside your LAN to do HMC functions?
