This seems to be worring about the barn after the horse is gone.  If you
have five copies of NS/open installed or you have 500 you are still open to
attack.  Anyone can go out and buy an NS/open client.   If someone comes
onto the campus they can come through any firewall we have.  Doesn't the HP
security have to take up somewhere?  At what point have you expended an
effort greater than the risk.  I suspose I am way off base here.
