You've missed the point of the discussion. The Unix/NT/CPM or farmer's
underware is part of the firewall. Firewall software is one part, the
hardware is another and the OS yet another. If they can compromise your
HW, you've got other problems but if they can compromise your firewall
because your OS can't provide the required support for the f/w, do you
stick with thatt OS ?
