Brad, you're on the wrong list if you're looking for *solutions* to
problems.

Personally I am getting tired of people making these kinds of 
comments.  It is obvious that these people have never had 
responsibility for a large-scale, multi-national enterprise 
environment that touches so many different organizations 
world-wide that it is nearly impossible to account for every 
single Internet access point (not to mention remote access 
and mobile computers).  While it may be true that blocking 
port 135 at the firewall would work in an ideal environment, 
very few of us that deal with security matters in the real 
world have anything that even begins to approach an ideal 
environment.  We need to be discussing real solutions to real 
problems, not verbalizing a continued ignorance of reality.  Sorry for
the rant, but this topic is getting old quickly!
