How secure should it be? (was RE: password stores?)

Ah, There's the rub. Access has a range from open to closed. The point you
choose along that line directly effects cost and ease of use.

Put another way, "Careful what you ask for, you may get it."

snip...
Should we secure routers better, worse or the same as burglar alarms?

While I agree there are settings which are insecure, its seems like we
haven't figured out the optimum level of security yet.  Which may be less
than what the experts think.
