[TriLUG] sparc 4 hardware

[Ryan Leathers]

Since it won't make a good firewall I have another suggestion: become a
Trojan collector.
That's right - just configure your S4 with samba and nothing else -
stick it in plain Internet view and name it something like Warez_Server
In the comments call it something like "NT 4.0 Server running SP1 -
120GB RAID5"

Imagine all the non-executable Trojans you will collect with this gag.
Oh, be sure to have a writable share for the user "guest" to help
embolden the script kiddies.

It only has one ethernet connection.  You can use either connector but
not
both.
