 A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts 
 directories.                                                              

       Title     : Network Security For Large Trade Shows                  
       Author(s) : A. Gwinn
       Filename  : draft-rfced-info-gwinn-00.txt

This document is designed to assist vendors and other participants in large
trade shows, such as Networld+Interop, in designing effective protection 
against network and system attacks by unauthorized individuals.  Generally,
it has been observed that many system administrators and trade show 
coordinators tend to overlook the importance of system security at trade 
shows. In fact, systems at trade shows are just as prone to attack as 
office-based platforms. Trade show systems should be treated as seriously 
as an office computer. A breach of security of a trade show system can 
render (and has rendered) a vendor's demonstrations inoperable--quite 
possibly for the entire show!                            

This dcoument is not intended to replace the multitudes of comprehensive 
books on the subject of Internet security.  Rather, its purpose is to 
provide a checklist-style collection of frequently overlooked, 
simple ways to minimize the chance of a costly attack.  Vendors are 
encouraged to pay special attention to this document and share it 
with all associated representatives.

Send a message to:  [e-mail]. In the body type: 
     "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-rfced-info-gwinn-00.txt".
							
NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net can return the document in
      MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
      feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
      command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
      a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
      exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
      "multipart" MIME messages (i.e., documents which have been split
      up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
      how to manipulate these messages.
							
							

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader 
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version
of the Internet-Draft.
