There's also the possibility that they're thinking about DHCP. A number of admins can tell stories of the time someone was trying to set up a DHCP server for one of their interfaces, and they misconfigured it so that it served DHCP addresses on the external interface, thus breaking things. In general, if you aren't running a service, there's no way you can confuse the rest of the network that you're the authoritative server for that service. If you keep it to ssh and ftp[1], you shouldn't have problems. Footnotes: [1] I'd ditch ftp, if possible, and use scp. Since you're not doing anon-ftp, I don't see any reason to leave it open... it tends to give more security problems. -- Alan Shutko <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - In a variety of flavors! Good news. Ten weeks from Friday will be a pretty good day.
