Uhh...  and if he gains access to the gateway what security do you
have anyway (unless, of course, all your machines on the "trusted"
side of the firewall are secure enough to put on the internet
directly?  If you're relying on a firewall to keep people out, and the
firewall is compromized, you are pretty much SOL.  What's to keep the
intruder from installing smbclient?

be... err... totally screwed".
