Hi!

I am about to install a FreeBSD 4.2 box (DX4 @ 100 MHz, 12 MB RAM, 210 MB disk) as a cable 
router/firewall for a small network.

I will disable all network services and the maintenance is going to be done over a serial console. 
It is immossible for an external attacker to reach the firewall machine and execute commands, 
right? The only thing he can do is circunvert the firewall and penetrate the internal network, 
right?

Sincerely,

...
