What are the symptoms now? Does ping work? What's the routing table look

X forwarding is useful. Security is still important behind a firewall - do
you trust everyone else on the network? Is the firewall completely proof
against all attacks?

I can't believe how many people we come across who do bone-headed things
(like keep password files in the clear (Hong Kong's biggest ISP does that,
for example)) and then think a firewall will save them.
