While I don't think the pain would be worth it for a general purpose office server, it would have it's place in the embeded world or as a border firewall. Typically these machine change rarely and have very few ports open. You really want this type of box to be secure. I would say something about a shell system here too, but I don't want to give anyone hope of securing a shell system with untrusted users. :) Cliff On Fri, 18 Jun 1999, Frank Tobin wrote: > Harry M.
