I also remember [1] the split of the original Firewalls list to Firewalls and
FW-Wizards because there were too many messages about firewall solutions
configurations...

BTW, does the original Firewalls list still exist?

[1] Yes, I'm a very long time lurker!

Finally something on the list not related to "how do i
configure my PIX" ;-)
I wonder what happened? We used to have interesting discussions here
years ago, and now everything is reduced to PIX setup?

P.S. I hate PIX. (and ASA too). Cannot imagine a single case for it to
be optimal solution. But even that is not what i'd like to discuss ;-)

I just love the way that any person with a brain who
encounters this internet security stuff can immediately
cut to the core of the problem as Olaf does below:

So, I'm watching a piece on the news this morning that
"hackers" from China, Russia, Korea and maybe others have
got into the computers that control the electrical grid.
My question is why the fuck are these computers connected
to the internet?
