Network security is a complicated issue.
We encourage you to contact the appropriate Network Service Team for your department or campus unit if you have any questions or concerns about how the security of your local file servers, printers, or databases will be affected by the discontinuation of AppleTalk routing and filtering. Individual User Accounts Establish secure user accounts on your local file and database servers for those individuals that need access to your department's information. AppleTalk filtering was relied upon to prevent unauthorized access. Apple has recently made substantial cuts in the educational price for AppleShare IP , making this an attractive option if you plan to upgrade your AppleTalk-based AppleShare 3 or 4 server. You should also use secure individual user accounts as part of your Internet security strategy.
