The preceding is a fairly accurate statement, unless it refers to some
of the user programs I run.

Good point. Here in my house, I trust everyone with a physical console,
so individual computers have simple or no firewalls. My Internet
firewall is pFSense, and every once in a while I use OpenBSD/pf instead:
I long ago gave up dealing with iptables. AFAIK, those merry jesters
from FreeDesktop.Org consider BSD not important enough to sabotage.
