Some people want completely automatic opening of ports (i.e. holes in their firewall/security). Not me. Instead of just opening ports without the user/administrator knowing (bad cop, no donut!), the addition or reconfiguration of a service should require human acknowledgment to open a hole in the security configuration. Of course, the balance between automation and administrator authorization is the part of this that would probably be the most widely debated. > Little project for someone 8) Sigh...if I only had the time right now to add one more to my list.
