In a typical setup, no sensitive information is stored on the firewall
machine (or gateway, as we call it), so I'm afraid I don't understand
your question.

Don't know anything about it, but last we heard they were trying to make
money on a public radio band, so we weren't especially interested.

Never looked at it before you mentioned it, but I'd say it's basically
outside the scope of our project. Other wireless groups have expressed
an interest in RIDS, to prevent luser antics on the wireless network,
and our attitude is basically the same. We do require transparent port
forwarding on the gateway firewall, however.

Keep 'em coming. :-)
