And what about the internet connection? Are all of your NT boxes
connected directly to the internet? Is there any sort of firewall
protecting them?
Of course, I'm assuming that the cracker came in from the outside. He
might just as well have broken in from the inside.

If there's no firewall, a cracker might get access to your NT network
regardless of whether the linux box is there or not.
