Hi John :)
    Quick response before a meeting... Check the archives I have posted
some things about this ...

    Run LanGuard (www.gfi.com) against the 3k via ip address...  and see if
any exploits are found... this will only work against your POSIX side of
the 3k...

Just gaining support to justify the lack of virus software on a 3k.
Fortunately, the 3k isn't a Microsoft O/S, but then unfortunately the 3k
isn't as popular..

Mark "hit the nail on the head".  Our client wants VPN access to the 3k.
The client's I.T. security staff evaluates systems based on vulnerabilities
know in Microsoft Servers as well as some historic Unix based servers.

Its like saying "No, I don't have a lock on my house front door".  Most
wouldn't believe the absence of thefts.

No, it's a legitimate question for someone who isn't familiar with the
3000 to ask (in this case, the question is coming from a client or
partner who wants to VPN in to the 3000. The people responsible for
security on that end is concerned about the relatively safety of the
machine they are about to add to their network).Unfortunately, they
aren't likely to believe our claim that it's just not a problem.
People are so used to the Windows status quo it's hard for them to
accept that things might be better in other environments!
