The biggest threat to the firewall I am currently installing is
management. Trying to convince them of the risks involved with letting
customers telnet in behind the firewall or having ready access to the
Oracle database has been a real chore. They just don't see themselves as
being a target. (Except that they are owned by a fortune 500 company.)
