But the mac's don't necessarily HAVE an IP address - they just
need to run appletalk. An inetd is used where in this
equation? What tcp/udp ports am I using?
I'd think that one correct answer about security is that if the
cracker is on you LAN, your life is pretty miserable anyway.
If it's I'net security as an issue, well, servers shouldn't
be exposed to the Internet and the router(s) should not allow
direct access to them in general.
