Hmmm... As you know I am unemployed since Mandrake laid me off last July 31. This is a job I am probably not "overqualified" for, so I think I will send in an application. letters of reference would be appreciated... email me privately if you would care to write one. First act would probably be asking folks to replace routers with stateful routers based on 2.4 kernel ASAP. We have a huge threat from trojaned XP computers with TCP-style DDOS attacks and spoofed IPs. Stateful systems can stop that, while no set of router rules can do much against the capabilities of XP to run DDOS attacks with the full Berkeley TCP stack, with current routers. Linux also has that full raw TCP stack, but those computers are considerably harder to trojan. But this job will have to deal with privacy and freedom issues while locking down one of the sloppiest communication systems extant. Many of the "solutions" to internet security threats are frightening, and all of them will increase the cost of use. Civileme
