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? "Suppose you're totally screwed. Given that, and SMBclient, you'd be... err... totally screwed". -- Eric E. Moore
