Re: Accessing machines behind a firewall

["Don Gillaspie" <don@pobox.com>]

I'm doing just that.
I use redir right now but am looking at using rinetd since redir keeps
dying.
redir and rinetd both punch holes in the firewall but I figure it's better
than having the entire NT box out there.
I'd definitely like to hear more opinions on the subject.
