RE: tcpdump on my firewall

["J B" <bolesjb () yahoo com>]

Seems like you don't have to try to hard to make a common sense argument
against it.  Seems to make a readily useful tool for anybody that might gain
access to your firewall, since much of your traffic will likely pass through
your firewall - and goes against minimizing your firewall system, might ask
him if there's anything else on he wants on there, like a quake server.
Seems that a better place would be inside your firewall.

Subject: [fw-wiz] tcpdump on my firewall

Anyone want to help me out here?

I have had a request to put tcpdump on our firewall by one of our tech
guys.

I have told him that I will not do so, and he wants a good reason why.

Does anyone have a ezine article or some other reference as to why I
shouldn't put it on?
