Again IMHO - if you want to do filtering (and I really think you do), you
should be running something like ip-filter at the kernel level and *everything*
running on the box should be explicity listed in the filter config. Also,
everything that isn't required on the box should be explicitly *turned off*.
That way you know *exactly* what is running on the box and you know *exactly*
what is allowed to access those services that are running.

Believe me - an ounce of prevention is worth *tons* of care ....

regards

Hugh
