How can we protect our system from customers' machines? What do you mean protect yourself? From things like sniffing passwords, or things like DoS attacks?

Preventing DoS attacks isn't as simple, look into firewalling at the router.. - Mitch To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
