I never discounted the denies. I was merely pointing out that discounting
the permits is really really really dumb. The first version of the firewall
I was referring to (which didn't log denies) was field-test code in the late
1980s...

It's sad that we're even talking about this stuff in 2007. The TCSEC
nailed it all in, what, 1983?
