I have no forward facing services. People cannot say http://opus.bloomcounty.net and bring up anything. The only service I use is samba limited by IP range only to the inside 192.168.0.x addresses. The question being if you have no web accesible services open for exploitation should this reasonably be a concern. 2. I am being both an IPtables and a my wireless router's firewall and I use no publically available IPs from my hosts behind the router. Plus, I guess a third reason is that tripwire has not seen anything freaky reaching in. Now, oddly enough, my samba log for Ultra 5 at work (I run samba on it) is full of junk with numbnuts inside my own network trying over and over to log into the box.
