What caused me to completely cross over into the "port filtering is OK"
camp was the fact that Microsoft themselves, in a "securing Windows NT"
document we found a while back, recommended that due to inherent
insecurities, NetBIOS be disabled on Internet machines.  If the vendor
says it shouldn't be connected to the Internet, I tend to agree.

So basically what you are saying is that it should be the network operators
responsibility to secure every application that might be used over said
network?
