Do I understand this right? They want security so they're installing NT --
presumably without any service packs.
That's a good one!
This is just what this list needs - more humorous stories!

Maybe I'm missing something here, but this sounds odd. These people are putting
up RH boxes for testing on the Internet in a corporate environment without a
firewall or
other security on their corporate network? They are doing a stock install and
not taking
any steps to select only needed services? They never have cracker attacks
otherwise?
Just does not sound right.
