But you're 100% right when it comes down to it, if you run a tight *nix network then you shouldn't _need_ a firewall. Interestingly enough one of the IRC admins for 2600 told me that he doesn't use firewalls at home (no win clients)- and he's not a lightweight, he is also an Infosec mgr for a very reputable company. But, you have to run a really tight network. His words of wisdom were to use a harware firewall, FWIW, since otherwise it's just another dern box to patch!!
Words of wisdom!
