Don't know about you, but that FW-1 is quite often installed with the
ability for anyone to connect to the FW-1 daemon is un-nerving to me.
If there were a backdoor, that would be the place to start looking...

One thing I was told ... it doesn't matter whether or how well you
review the code.  CP supposedly can do automatic updates to it, to
"improve" your firewall.  How nice!

My source is supposedly reliable.
