Can you absolutely count on that one person to remain in your company's employ forever? Arguing that you should have someone proficient in netfilter||ipf has a hole in it about the size of your average 18-wheeler. Suppose the person leaves, who can you call for help in your hour of need until you get your next guru? Maybe you've got someone, maybe you don't. You need to evaluate how much risk you're willing to take. -- Jason Costomiris <>< | Technologist, geek, human. jcostom {at} jasons {dot} org | http://www.jasons.org/ Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum viditur.
