"That [WEB] will give people a false sense of security." IMHO those 'people' are a group that is a subset of folk that will do 'unwise' things no matter what level of scurity is in place. Move along, nothing to see here... Internet != secure, period.

Wouldn't it be better to use an approach like NetReg to give every user a warning when they first connect to the network? That doesn't require any arcane software config and would give an accurate indication of how secure the network is. Chris
