Amen. A Linux fanatic used to work for my company, promised a firewall which did everything we wanted for next to nothing in no time at all (sound familiar?<G>). A month and a half later after a series of "not yet?!" discussions he finally had it up. Within days the elementary Intrusion Detection I setup on our primary server was reporting stealth attacks...
Anyway, after watching their activities for a few days, I shut down the firewall. Always felt that our Linux guy found he was into a project he couldn't do alone, but his sources for help were unethical people who couldn't resist including a backdoor.

You all might want to be careful about broadcasting your firewall configurations. All someone has to do is use that info, your name, email reply domain and you are slammed. If i was a hacker i would surf these groups of people who don't know how to set up their firewalls correctly, gather info and become your worst nightmare. It would make the list obsolete if we couldn't discuss things, but try to keep it general. Maybe do some offline specific stuff with those peeps you trust. Just some food for thought!!!! Hope you were hungry.
