Rob

I have to disagree with you somewhat. Both of the measures you have highlighted above DO increase security somewhat. Whilst they may be ineffective against those that are able and determined to breach such defences, they help to secure against casual (or accidental) breach. It's a bit like claiming locking your doors and fitting an alarm system doesn't increase your home security. It does,of course, but if somebody really wants in...........

Wouldn't like those that value the advice on here assume that it's not worth 'switching on' whatever they can to increase security. Better than nothing, surely?
