	I'm interested in the subject.  Just signed up for the list from the
announcement in c.o.l.a., and this was actually one of the questions I
wanted to ask  :)  I'm looking, after having run Linux as a toy for
about two years, at possibly setting up a dialin system of some
sort... so security is abruptly becoming quite the issue.  Being
ignorant as anything, I appreciate any kind of discussion, even if it
does clog my mailbox. :) 

	My $0.02.
