I musty be really confused, backofficer is a firewall?

Backofficer Friendly's not a firewall and shouldn't be taken as
a substitute. It's a useful (we believe) alerting tool - a sort
of "lightweight burglar alarm" rather than a security system in
its own right.

I don't forsee BOF turning into a firewall, either. I'm through with
firewalls: "been there, done that." ;)
