- It has always been my understanding that it is *illegal* to put any
- classified data on a machine that is hooked up to the Internet. Just
- hooking up a machine to the 'net makes it unsecure. You will have to
- isolate the machine(s) that will handle classified data from the rest
- of your LAN.
-
- For more information, you should contact your local security office.
- They should at least know who to point you towards regarding this
- sort of question...
