security varies from the norm... this just gives them more ammo, and
I, personally, don't believe in 'security through obscurity' and don't think it'll hurt to let possible attackers know that I do more than just simple logging. 'This is a house where a gun lives' has proven to be a slogan which reduced the crime in some neighborhoods significantly (even I, a pro gun-controller, have to admit THAT :), so why not apply this philosophy to my work place?
Be careful what specifics you give out in public forums about your security setup. Everything you say here becomes public knowledge and searchable. Maybe you have your reasons or don't care, but still, everyone should keep this in mind.
If security voids itself by becoming public knowledge, maybe the approch itself has to be rethought? jonas
