Hello,

Is it (very) dangerous to allow all = outgoing=20 connections? I have IPFW running wich ristricts what is going into the=20 server/LAN from the internet. But it does not restrict what is going to = the=20 internet from within my LAN.

Is this potentially dangerous, with = regards to=20 virussus (or virri?) and trojans?

This has puzzled me for some time = now.

Greets,

Marcel
