Me too. Except I've been here a couple of years. And it's not so much
my employers as it is the dumb-as-posts administrators. And not only
are they dumb as posts, but they've got that puerile Napolean complex
common among their ilk.

Well at least I've got ftp and telnet. My guys have blocked every port
below 1500 except a few common ones. All I wanna do is use ICQ. It'll
take 'em two months to open up the right port(s).

Hah! And I'd LOVE to be able to show these dinks that there firewall is
worthless. It's a WatchGuard Firebox 100. Anybody know any
vulnerabilities?

Thank from me too.
