I was wondering, what's your opinion on how securely a honeypot should 
be configured?  Should it be really hardened or completely open and 
vulnerable?

Another interesting option is running a very hardened system, but with a
specific service or two left wide open - for instance, so you can study
what things are attacking port 445 without having to worry about your research
being interrupted by some skript kiddie with an IIS exploit....
