Re: Okay to change QAUTOVRT to zero?

[MacWheel99@xxxxxxx]

There are a couple issues here.

Someone made a security review & suggested something to improve security.
Bryan Burns asked what the implications of the adjustment might be.
Al Mac asked what impact this might have on AUTHORIZED DIAL IN.
Chuck Lewis implied that it might not interfere with ANY dial in.
Which means that the original security reviewer missed something ... if a 
port or line is left open for the purpose of an AUTHORIZED dial in, or pass 
thru, then an intruder might also use that access.
So what has been accomplished by adjusting QAUTOVRT from perspective of the 
security goals?
Or am I off in left field ... QAUTOVRT is not FOR security of dial in, but 
for security of LAN attachments?
