I'm surprised at the number of darts thrown at you over your posts on this subject. I have consulted many times with Fortune 500 companies for a leading information security company, and can only agree with you 100%. Anybody who thinks OS X, Unix, Windows, or any other OS is basically safe out of the box is naive.

Regards.

Thus spaketh he who knows not.

I would have no problem dropping a fresh OpenBSD, Trusted Solaris or OSF/1 box onto the raw Internet.

Any of them would be impervious to the typical traffic on the Internet.

Just because Windows is a rickety, rat-infested tenement building doesn't mean that's the way that everyone lives.
