IMHO a machine's internal firewall code should always be activated... 
always. I apologize for not noting that more clearly, Buck; you are correct 
in that it can be done, and I believe that it is a useful additional layer 
of security. Whenever possible, one should also arrange to be notified (by 
something like tripwire) if the firewall rules are changed at any time.
