I find this all rather amusing.
IF somebody really wants to screw us up and IF they can crack our firewall and IF they can crack the root password of our admin host and IF they care to upgrade the firmware on our filer and IF they know how to do it and IF it breaks the filer beyond usablility

that's whay we have backups and that's why we buy hardware support.
Ah, ye'ole arguments of:
"security thru obscurity is bliss" & "me make'em firewall"
I believe that as emerging foriegn markets are the greatest threat to international businesses, every vulnurability needs to be addressed with proper security measures. The term data-broker is not a fictitious invention of Tom Clancy. And, I believe that as NetApp strengthens it's position as a market leader in Toaster-Technology, they should assume a greater responsiblity towards data & hardware security.
And not to divert too far into tangent waters, but you forgot your ENDIF.
