hiya,
i do hope yo have all the latest Sun patches on your machines?
also how do you manage network information? do you use NIS? or NIS+?
or do you use a homebrew system? i suggest you might also want to join
the firewalls mailing list.. <firewalls-request@greatcircle.com>
anyway you'll find there is plenty to learn, you best bet would
probably be to go through some of the ids and firewalls archives.
Matt
